00:02:13.900 To hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:02:18.020 This is the Glenn Back program.

00:02:23.580 Yeah, hello, you sick, twisted freak. 1.00

00:02:26.260 Welcome to the program.

00:02:27.740 It is Monday.

00:02:29.320 We're going to bring you up to speed on what we're still counting and so much more in 60 seconds.

00:02:38.660 Have you ever taken a handful of your dog's kibble food and smelled it?

00:02:43.380 Right?

00:02:44.220 Right?

00:02:45.020 Smells awful.

00:02:46.800 What you're smelling is dead food.

00:02:48.940 The stuff gets sterilized so it can be put on a shelf in a store for up to two years.

00:02:54.420 You know, or in your garbage for long periods of time.

00:02:57.060 That doesn't make sense for your dog because all of the nutrients have been cooked out.

00:03:02.400 Now, I'm not suggesting you change your dog food.

00:03:04.540 I'm suggesting you put the nutrients back in with a supplement developed by naturopathic doctor Dennis Black.

00:03:11.360 You sprinkle this onto the dog's food.

00:03:14.140 It's chock full of vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants.

00:03:17.760 You name it.

00:03:18.380 If it's healthy for your dog, it's most likely in Rough Greens.

00:03:23.100 They want to give you your first trial bag just for your dog to try for free just to make sure he loves it as much as my dog Uno.

00:03:30.020 Just give your first trial bag.

00:03:31.740 You just pay for shipping at roughgreens.com slash beck.

00:03:35.980 That's roughgreens, R-U-F-F-Greens dot com slash beck.

00:03:40.060 Or you can call them at 833-G-L-E-N-N-33.

00:03:45.080 It's roughgreens.com slash beck.

00:03:48.580 Well, hello, Stu.

00:03:50.260 Glenn, how are you after this fine weekend?

00:03:52.280 Oh my gosh, I am great.

00:03:53.880 It's just getting better and better.

00:03:55.480 Is it really?

00:03:56.100 It is.

00:03:56.700 I had missed that part of the news.

00:03:58.180 Yeah, have you?

00:03:59.880 So, could you just tell me what exactly is going on now?

00:04:04.240 Yes, the Senate has been called for the Democrats over the weekend.

00:04:08.340 Two close races went the Democrats' way.

00:04:11.620 Blake Masters in Arizona lost and Adam Laxalt in Nevada lost.

00:04:16.460 Now, simultaneously in Nevada, the gubernatorial candidate for the Republicans won.

00:04:21.440 That's weird, isn't it?

00:04:22.580 So, split between those two.

00:04:24.280 Both very close races.

00:04:26.060 Yeah.

00:04:26.620 But the Republican did win in Nevada, which is some good news.

00:04:30.400 Now, I understand that, thank goodness, they found some ballots from, like, the kitchen

00:04:36.600 union or something.

00:04:38.680 What exactly happened with these extra ballots?

00:04:41.800 I don't know.

00:04:42.440 Who knows?

00:04:43.800 Who knows?

00:04:44.400 That's stuff they're going to sort out here, I guess, in the coming weeks.

00:04:47.340 I mean, again, there's people still challenging.

00:04:49.400 These are media calls.

00:04:51.420 But still, it does look that way.

00:04:54.320 I think Carrie Lake is, I'd be interested to hear what she says.

00:04:57.500 Maybe we'll have her on later today. 0.95

00:04:58.860 But she, you know, this is a race we talked about that would, if she could sweep it out, 1.00

00:05:04.040 it was going to be really, really close.

00:05:05.320 But it does not look all that promising by the votes that have come in.

00:05:09.740 I don't know if there's a different perspective from Arizona.

00:05:12.320 But looking just at the results over the past three or four days, I don't think it looks

00:05:16.740 as good as you'd hope.

00:05:18.460 The House still remains as a Republican favorite, though, like, there's one of the sites, one

00:05:26.400 of the mainstream sites keeps quoting it as, like, Republicans, 221 seats is the projection,

00:05:34.100 plus or minus four.

00:05:36.120 I was like, well, that's a big plus or minus four, because the minus four is 217, which

00:05:42.020 means they don't have control.

00:05:43.580 And that's sort of the, like, if every single thing goes wrong, they could still lose the

00:05:48.100 House.

00:05:48.840 They would definitely be the overwhelming favorite to win it.

00:05:51.260 So far, though, hasn't every single thing gone wrong?

00:05:54.820 Well, I get.

00:05:55.480 You look at the races that are outstanding, and you just see a lot of, like, California stuff.

00:06:00.380 Right.

00:06:00.940 You know, there's not a lot there you'd be like, okay, that one should come.

00:06:04.100 That one should come through.

00:06:05.480 Yeah.

00:06:06.980 Lauren Boebert's an interesting one. 0.89

00:06:09.560 The race seems to be completely counted, basically.

00:06:12.980 And she leads by a couple, and I was going to say a couple thousand.

00:06:16.760 It's really just basically a thousand and change.

00:06:19.600 But she, 50.0. 0.97

00:06:21.260 Is there a labor union that hasn't found their votes yet?

00:06:24.320 We don't know that stuff yet.

00:06:25.380 We don't know that.

00:06:25.820 We will eventually find that stuff out.

00:06:27.420 All right.

00:06:27.980 But she remains in the lead. 0.67

00:06:30.660 Uh-huh.

00:06:31.500 And, like, that would get you an extra seat.

00:06:34.180 There's a few more that I think are Republican favored.

00:06:37.860 They should pull through in the House.

00:06:39.480 And as much as this all feels really disappointing, clearing that hurdle is a major, major hurdle.

00:06:45.440 It was the only one that seemed like a real sure thing coming in.

00:06:48.280 It's going to be a much smaller, a smaller margin if they get it than we were hoping for.

00:06:54.320 But that doesn't matter all that much.

00:06:57.000 You get control of the committees.

00:06:58.700 You get control of the votes.

00:07:00.980 You get to be able, you can block stuff that's going through that Biden wants.

00:07:04.780 There's a lot you can do with just that one piece.

00:07:06.920 But they do have to get that one piece.

00:07:08.720 If we don't get that one piece.

00:07:11.120 That is a catastrophic election.

00:07:13.060 Then you can put it to the side of a catastrophic election.

00:07:15.600 And right now, I think people feel catastrophe because many people expected a red tsunami.

00:07:23.040 And, you know, I never thought that that was the most likely outcome.

00:07:26.980 But a stronger win than this.

00:07:29.220 A red wave.

00:07:29.920 A red wave.

00:07:30.620 You know, this has been a red.

00:07:31.960 We've been calling it a red tinkle.

00:07:33.680 Because it feels like you got punched somewhere you didn't want to get punched.

00:07:36.240 Right.

00:07:36.580 But it does.

00:07:37.220 It's still on the red side.

00:07:38.840 And so we'll see.

00:07:39.840 It's just blood.

00:07:41.160 It's just blood.

00:07:42.240 It's just blood.

00:07:42.760 Yeah.

00:07:43.140 You don't want to get punched there.

00:07:44.300 Yeah.

00:07:44.560 Thank you for that, Stu.

00:07:46.100 I appreciate it.

00:07:46.840 It's a good way to start a Monday.

00:07:48.580 So there is another election that is supposedly happening this week.

00:07:53.260 Don't know why he would be trying to get this done so fast.

00:07:58.920 You know, well, I actually do.

00:08:01.860 The reason why Mitch McConnell wants to have an election this week is because nobody in the Senate is really prepared for it.

00:08:11.300 Nobody else has put their hat in the ring yet.

00:08:15.500 So they're going to have a top secret meeting on Tuesday.

00:08:21.500 Shh.

00:08:22.080 Don't tell anybody.

00:08:23.860 They're going to have a meeting on Tuesday.

00:08:26.080 And that's when they're going to hear from, you know, anybody else that wants to put their hat in the ring.

00:08:31.340 I hope somebody puts their hat in the ring because Mitch McConnell has got to go.

00:08:37.620 If there's anyone that you could say, I think they played a role in the loss here, it would be Mitch McConnell.

00:08:45.680 You know, why did you put so much money in the Murkowski race when we knew it was going to be a Republican either way?

00:08:54.100 Yeah, that's terrible.

00:08:55.460 Why would you do that?

00:08:56.420 Let the people just decide that one.

00:08:57.120 Yeah.

00:08:57.900 I think we all know why he did that.

00:09:00.300 He did that because he wanted to make sure he had Murkowski who would kowtow to him.

00:09:08.060 Oh, yes.

00:09:09.600 Oh, powerful Oz.

00:09:11.600 Yes.

00:09:12.360 Yes.

00:09:13.600 So we know why he did that.

00:09:15.460 We also know why he didn't put money into Blake Masters, which we could have won that race.

00:09:20.560 Oh, my gosh.

00:09:21.160 Yes.

00:09:21.460 It was definitely a winnable race.

00:09:22.600 Yeah, definitely a winnable race.

00:09:24.400 Yeah.

00:09:24.920 But he didn't put any money there.

00:09:26.880 Why?

00:09:27.660 Because he knew Blake Masters wouldn't kowtow to the all-powerful Oz, otherwise known as the Turtle.

00:09:35.740 Not Dr. Oz.

00:09:37.040 Not Dr. Oz.

00:09:37.580 That's a different Oz. 0.59

00:09:38.760 Yeah, not Dr. Oz.

00:09:40.160 Which I don't think he put any money into that one either, did he?

00:09:43.000 I don't know the answer to that one.

00:09:44.240 That was certainly a tougher race, although I think Oz wound up losing by, what was it, four points?

00:09:49.880 Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

00:09:51.240 But seemingly a winnable one.

00:09:52.940 When you have a guy who is incapable of communicating with other human beings, it does seem to be winnable, you know?

00:09:59.180 So here's what I'd like to ask you to participate in.

00:10:04.340 I would like you to write this phone number down, 202-224-3121.

00:10:12.160 That number, again, is 202-224-3121.

00:10:19.080 That'll get you to the Capitol switchboard.

00:10:22.200 Now, you can go online and look for your senator and find the direct line to your Senate office, but I highly recommend that you do today.

00:10:32.760 In fact, Deb Fisher from Nebraska, she should be called.

00:10:39.640 Roger Whitker from Mississippi, he should be called.

00:10:43.040 Rick Scott, Florida.

00:10:44.660 Ted Cruz, Texas.

00:10:46.800 Mike Braun from Indiana.

00:10:49.600 Josh Hawley from Missouri.

00:10:53.900 John Barrasso, Wyoming.

00:10:56.440 He would be great to call.

00:10:57.500 Marsha Blackburn would also be called.

00:11:00.220 She should be called.

00:11:01.160 I mean, it wouldn't be a bad idea.

00:11:05.040 And let's see who's on the side for Mitch McConnell.

00:11:10.740 Who's a member of the Mitch's Bitches Club? 1.00

00:11:15.280 Who is it that will actually stand with this guy?

00:11:18.980 Because I think, personally, that they should have another election and see if we can get anybody else to take over for Mitch McConnell.

00:11:29.800 Because he was instrumental in getting nothing done.

00:11:36.420 Nothing.

00:11:37.260 The only thing that you can credit Mitch McConnell on is the Supreme Court.

00:11:41.880 And that's a big thing.

00:11:43.520 However, for all of the years that he's been running the dump, that's the only thing I can think of.

00:11:50.320 So, what have you done for us lately, Mitch, besides screwed this up?

00:11:57.700 Here's the thing.

00:11:58.980 Mitch McConnell and his ilk are going to be exactly the same as they have always been.

00:12:05.340 Mitt Romney, he said last week, there's only one person who is responsible for the red wave that is coming, and that is Mitch McConnell.

00:12:18.960 And I thought that was the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

00:12:22.460 Because he wasn't going for the red wave.

00:12:26.640 He was working against the red wave.

00:12:30.400 But Romney is right about this.

00:12:34.280 He does deserve credit for everything that has just happened.

00:12:38.720 So, I highly recommend that you call your senators.

00:12:45.120 And, wait a minute.

00:12:47.820 I think most of these are up for re-election next time.

00:12:52.820 Well, anyway, I think you should call them and say,

00:12:56.980 Hey, we want to know if you're going to vote for or against Mitch McConnell.

00:13:03.760 And if they say against Mitch McConnell, great.

00:13:08.500 If they say, It's a secret ballot, and we're not sure who is.

00:13:15.080 Just let them know, you're writing that down as a vote for Mitch McConnell.

00:13:21.940 And you will remember come election day.

00:13:28.360 You will remember.

00:13:29.920 Oh, you will remember.

00:13:31.480 You will remember that.

00:13:34.700 Then you might want to also call, you know, some of the others that might be thinking about,

00:13:40.820 oh, I don't know, running for president.

00:13:42.840 Who could those be?

00:13:44.920 Who could those be?

00:13:45.200 A lot of senators are probably considering it, Glenn.

00:13:47.360 Yeah, probably.

00:13:48.940 I mean, Rubio, you know, isn't it weird?

00:13:52.580 Rubio is an interesting story, right?

00:13:53.940 I mean, people forget.

00:13:55.740 Yeah, sure, DeSantis won by, what, 19 points?

00:13:58.320 I would assume Marco Rubio, who also won, I think, by 17 points in Florida.

00:14:02.860 That's a big story.

00:14:03.860 He ran already for president.

00:14:05.380 Yeah.

00:14:06.020 Maybe he's thinking it's time to run again.

00:14:08.240 Yeah.

00:14:08.720 And isn't he one of them that just came out and said, hey, maybe we should replace Mitch McConnell?

00:14:14.300 He showed some skepticism, it seemed.

00:14:15.840 He did see.

00:14:16.900 Yeah.

00:14:17.080 It seemed that way.

00:14:18.620 It would be interesting.

00:14:19.700 Now, you don't think that it's, I mean, I take Marco Rubio at his word.

00:14:25.420 It's not just because he's running for president and knows you're not going to go anywhere in the Republican Party if you back Mitch McConnell.

00:14:33.720 Right?

00:14:34.980 Isn't that it?

00:14:36.660 Anyway, you might want to call some of these senators.

00:14:40.060 Again, the number is 202-224-3121.

00:14:46.040 Could you run as a Republican if you were in the Senate?

00:14:53.220 Could you run if you had voted for Mitch McConnell?

00:15:01.080 You could run.

00:15:02.560 Yeah.

00:15:02.980 Would it go well?

00:15:04.380 You'd probably entertain the interest of a bunch of money from Mitch McConnell.

00:15:08.720 That would probably be good.

00:15:09.880 But that's the only upside in a primary.

00:15:11.640 I don't think a primary would, that would not look good in your primary record.

00:15:14.520 Yeah, probably not.

00:15:16.400 Probably not.

00:15:17.260 I voted for, it was a secret ballot.

00:15:19.620 I can't tell you who I voted for.

00:15:21.620 Oh, I think we know.

00:15:23.040 I think we know.

00:15:23.700 It'll be clear, I think, by that answer.

00:15:25.680 Because everybody who doesn't vote for Mitch McConnell, I think they're going to be fine saying, I didn't vote for Mitch McConnell.

00:15:33.700 Pretty sure.

00:15:35.000 Pretty sure.

00:15:36.820 So that's Romney.

00:15:39.100 I love him.

00:15:40.740 You've always been a big Romney guy.

00:15:42.380 Always.

00:15:42.700 All that I can always remember.

00:15:43.880 Um, Deb Fischer.

00:15:47.800 Roger Wicker.

00:15:49.580 Rick Scott.

00:15:51.280 Ted Cruz.

00:15:52.680 Some of these are going to be easy.

00:15:54.240 They're going to say, they're going to say, uh, no, I'm not voting for him.

00:15:57.760 Uh, but just make sure everybody in the Senate on the Republican side understands you're not joking around.

00:16:06.760 You are clear what Mitch McConnell has done for you and the country.

00:16:13.720 And I'm pretty much sick of it.

00:16:16.540 Uh, Mike Braun.

00:16:19.260 Uh, Josh Hawley.

00:16:21.280 Uh, John Barrasso.

00:16:22.880 And Marsha Blackburn.

00:16:24.600 So it'd be good to just call.

00:16:28.840 Did I tell you that they're voting on that on Wednesday?

00:16:31.260 Just, just two days from now.

00:16:34.480 Two days from now.

00:16:35.180 And what, four days, five days after they called the Senate?

00:16:38.340 Yeah.

00:16:39.000 Isn't that weird?

00:16:40.180 That's weird.

00:16:40.960 Because, uh, Schumer's not, not calling for a re-election until, uh, December.

00:16:46.840 But Mitch wants to get this done.

00:16:49.080 Wants to get this done right away.

00:16:51.380 Right away.

00:16:52.180 If there's anything you'd say about Mitch McConnell, it's that he's speedy.

00:16:56.340 Speedy is the word.

00:16:58.260 You know?

00:16:58.700 I mean, he looks like a turtle, sure.

00:17:00.420 But remember, the turtle won that race.

00:17:02.360 Let me tell you this.

00:17:03.480 Let me tell you this, too.

00:17:05.820 He, when he sees a continuing resolution or an omnibus bill, he is on it.

00:17:13.180 They'll give it to him and he'll say, right, right, right away.

00:17:18.200 And then.

00:17:18.800 He's nimble.

00:17:19.400 He's nimble.

00:17:20.540 He gets it to the guys within hours of the vote.

00:17:24.100 So nobody can, you know, really look at it.

00:17:27.120 But that's as fast as he can go.

00:17:28.960 He is fast.

00:17:31.620 So when we're looking at another omnibus or we're looking for a continuing resolution,

00:17:37.180 Mitch is our guy.

00:17:39.780 And when we're looking now at the 2024 election coming up, I think, I think Mitch is the guy

00:17:49.940 to chart the course to get that Republican Party back on track.

00:17:54.300 You do.

00:17:55.020 Well, in the same sort of way as I think arsenic is a great laxative.

00:18:03.080 OK.

00:18:04.180 Yeah.

00:18:05.140 You know, you're stuffed up.

00:18:06.760 Take a little arsenic.

00:18:07.800 You won't have that problem anymore.

00:18:09.360 That's true.

00:18:10.240 You know what I mean?

00:18:10.880 So, no, I think we're clear on that.

00:18:17.780 Diesel fuel crisis going on right now.

00:18:21.760 Last thing you should do is, I don't know, ignore it.

00:18:25.440 With diesel trucks that don't run without trucks, grocery stores empty out fast.

00:18:32.280 You know what empties trucks out fast?

00:18:34.680 No diesel for the railway system.

00:18:36.820 Yeah.

00:18:37.460 Yeah.

00:18:38.740 Ask yourself this.

00:18:39.780 Are you prepared for that kind of thing?

00:19:56.000 So, Glenn, what do you think the field looks like in 2024?

00:19:59.180 I know we're getting ahead of ourselves a little bit here.

00:20:01.340 But I'm curious as to you think, do you think this develops the same way that it developed

00:20:05.460 in 2020 where we have, or 2016?

00:20:07.740 7,000.

00:20:08.320 Where we have, like, almost everyone you've ever seen on Fox News is a candidate?

00:20:11.600 Yes.

00:20:12.020 Yes, I do, unfortunately.

00:20:13.560 Yes.

00:20:14.180 I think there was a hope among some that maybe you'd have, you know, Trump versus DeSantis.

00:20:19.300 Maybe, like, a Larry Hogan who's probably going to get in it as a moderate.

00:20:23.200 Something like that.

00:20:23.920 But, like, the two people with a chance to win and then a limited field where you'd see

00:20:29.000 two people kind of fight it out and then you'd get to the end with some sort of rational

00:20:34.320 conclusion to that story.

00:20:36.820 In 2016, there were so many candidates all at the same time.

00:20:40.520 Everybody joined in.

00:20:42.320 Tons of people below 1%.

00:20:44.120 You know, debate stages, they split up over multiple days.

00:20:48.260 I mean, this is all coming back to me now and it's starting to be terrifying.

00:20:51.340 Everybody is going to be running for vice president.

00:20:54.540 That's what's going to happen.

00:20:55.580 They're going to run for president, but their belief is...

00:20:58.120 They're actually running for vice president.

00:21:00.780 That's what's going to happen.

00:21:02.600 That's what you'll see in the field.

00:21:04.020 And that happened, of course, that played out in the Democratic primary in 2020 where a

00:21:08.360 failed presidential candidate got the VP slot.

00:21:11.020 And if we have people like Mitch McConnell, we'll do that again, you know.

00:21:14.300 We'll do, hey, it worked for the Democrats.

00:21:16.180 Let's get the least popular person and put them on the ticket.

00:21:20.760 So you think Mitch McConnell will be VP?

00:21:22.460 I think there's a good chance.

00:21:24.080 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:21:25.280 That'll be interesting.

00:21:26.240 So let me go back to the 2016 crew for a bit.

00:21:29.960 Marco Rubio, you think is...

00:21:31.440 I think there's a chance.

00:21:32.220 Yeah, I think, yeah.

00:21:34.320 Ted Cruz?

00:21:36.120 Yes.

00:21:36.480 Now, Rand Paul is an interesting one.

00:21:39.460 Rand Paul has been very much in the news over the past couple of years, especially on the

00:21:42.780 COVID stuff.

00:21:43.740 We did ask him this question directly when he was on the air with us one time.

00:21:47.700 And his answer was definitely not, no, I'm not running.

00:21:51.360 It was more of a, if Trump wins, I don't think there'd be much of a point.

00:21:55.880 Or if Trump runs, I don't think there'd be much of a point.

00:21:58.380 Meaning, I guess, that he'd clear the field at some level.

00:22:00.660 I think that's changing, unfortunately.

00:22:04.080 Because I don't think...

00:22:05.160 I don't think a great, a huge field really benefits the Republican Party or conservatism

00:22:10.180 generally.

00:22:10.860 No.

00:22:11.220 And I like, I like watching the, I like watching the varying viewpoints.

00:22:16.620 I like to see who's the best candidate.

00:22:18.420 I don't think a big primary necessarily is always damaging.

00:22:21.280 But I don't know.

00:22:22.720 It seems to be so, so much of a sideshow.

00:22:26.200 You can't get anything accomplished.

00:22:27.720 Everyone's been, you know, 30 second answers on a debate stage from 12 different people does

00:22:32.020 nothing.

00:22:32.400 No, and the nice thing is, this time you're going to have Liz Cheney joining in too.

00:22:38.160 You think she's going to get in too? 0.70

00:22:39.180 Of course she is.

00:22:40.360 And she'll run and she'll be funded by the left like crazy, so she'll always be standing 0.95

00:22:46.560 there.

00:22:47.740 She'll just keep going. 0.87

00:22:50.880 I don't know if they'll pick her or they'll find some, they're going to find someone to 0.99

00:22:53.480 take her place. 0.85

00:22:54.360 It might be Larry Hogan.

00:22:55.380 But someone in that, someone's going to take that wing of the Republican Party and give

00:22:59.500 it a whirl, I think.

00:23:01.420 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:23:04.420 World has a ton of troubles right now.

00:23:06.460 And while some of them are just over the horizon, I believe there is a new dawn waiting for us.

00:23:11.580 Right now it seems a little dark.

00:23:13.440 But, why stay up at night thinking about it?

00:23:18.440 Because the sun is going to come up.

00:24:30.000 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:24:36.080 We say hello to Mr. Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed.

00:24:40.500 Welcome.

00:24:41.440 How are you feeling today?

00:24:45.020 Miserable would be a good word.

00:24:48.320 Despondent would be another word.

00:24:50.300 Huh.

00:24:50.440 Defeated would be a third.

00:24:53.420 Okay.

00:24:53.800 That we could use.

00:24:55.000 So not spirited.

00:24:56.780 No.

00:24:57.660 Not spirited in any way.

00:25:00.200 Okay.

00:25:00.420 Except about the national divorce movement.

00:25:02.600 I'm kind of...

00:25:03.420 You're into that.

00:25:04.040 I'm kind of into that.

00:25:05.080 Mm-hmm.

00:25:05.560 Yeah.

00:25:06.300 I wouldn't mind.

00:25:07.000 Do you think that in...

00:25:08.940 If we got a national divorce in the new, let's say, constitutional republic that we would

00:25:14.400 like to live in, do you think the GOP would win the elections?

00:25:19.380 Somehow they'd still blow it.

00:25:20.800 Wouldn't that be something?

00:25:21.420 They'd still blow it.

00:25:22.680 They'd still find a way to lose.

00:25:24.380 There'd be a communist...

00:25:25.260 One communist and he'd be like, I think...

00:25:27.380 The Green Party takes over.

00:25:28.520 I think I should fill all of the Senate seats and they'd win.

00:25:33.880 Yeah.

00:25:34.260 That's probably true.

00:25:35.480 Yeah.

00:25:35.900 Probably true.

00:25:36.400 So what are they going for?

00:25:37.700 Isn't it bizarre, though, that every time you go to sleep with a lead, you wake up with

00:25:45.000 not the lead.

00:25:45.920 It's kind of strange to me.

00:25:47.580 Mm-hmm.

00:25:48.300 I wasn't expecting this over the weekend.

00:25:50.720 Have you...

00:25:51.320 Adam Laxalt would drop the, what, almost three-point lead he had going into the weekend.

00:25:56.060 Two and a half points, something like that.

00:25:57.500 Yeah.

00:25:57.920 And all of a sudden, nope, he lost.

00:26:00.180 Adam Laxalt preparing him for a loss.

00:26:02.360 I'm like, wait, what?

00:26:04.220 How did that happen?

00:26:05.200 Well, all the precincts that came in were heavy Democrat.

00:26:09.220 We just thought they might be slightly Democrat.

00:26:11.980 Okay.

00:26:13.220 Wow.

00:26:13.500 That happens a lot.

00:26:14.760 Didn't happen...

00:26:15.160 Didn't happen in the gubernatorial race, though.

00:26:17.560 That's good.

00:26:18.420 They did win.

00:26:18.820 That is true.

00:26:19.740 The Republican governor hung out.

00:26:20.920 If you're going to do it, you know, if you're going to cheat, you'd think you would do...

00:26:25.300 Probably go for both of it.

00:26:27.280 Exactly.

00:26:28.020 That's why.

00:26:28.900 Or...

00:26:29.340 Or...

00:26:29.840 That's what they want you to think.

00:26:33.320 You know what?

00:26:34.060 We'll give them the governorship.

00:26:35.160 We'll give them that.

00:26:35.900 We'll give them that.

00:26:36.480 And then they won't be able to say...

00:26:37.440 As long as we have the Senate, then they won't be able to say anything.

00:26:41.420 It hurts, though.

00:26:42.620 It hurts.

00:26:43.080 It does.

00:26:43.500 And to see the victory lap that Biden is taking.

00:26:46.320 I mean, after the Xi message, he meets with Xi for three hours, comes out talking about,

00:26:51.860 you know, how great it is that Democrats won.

00:26:55.580 That...

00:26:56.420 Well, how did he put it?

00:26:58.620 That...

00:26:59.220 Oh, election denialism was strongly rejected.

00:27:03.680 Okay.

00:27:03.740 Because, you know, there's such wide and open and honest elections in China.

00:27:09.140 I'm glad he was able to shine light on that.

00:27:12.880 Yeah.

00:27:13.040 Because they've been doing such a good job.

00:27:15.260 President Xi, very, very popular.

00:27:17.360 Mm-hmm.

00:27:17.720 Very, very, very popular.

00:27:19.260 In fact, I think he might win 98, 99% of the vote.

00:27:22.360 Well, if they let people vote.

00:27:23.340 That's because they call him Mr. Freedom.

00:27:26.160 Mr. Freedom.

00:27:27.000 Mr. Freedom.

00:27:28.180 Mr. Freedom.

00:27:29.600 Mm-hmm.

00:27:32.020 Wow, I didn't see that one coming.

00:27:33.740 No.

00:27:34.180 But then again, I didn't see Laxalt losing either.

00:27:36.600 No, I didn't either.

00:27:37.460 No.

00:27:37.720 Did not either.

00:27:38.420 At least it takes the edge off the Georgia race now, doesn't it? 0.93

00:27:42.340 Yeah.

00:27:42.740 It's like, eh, whatever.

00:27:44.000 It might be good for Walker's chances.

00:27:47.780 I think there's an argument to be made that now that control isn't 100% teetering on that.

00:27:54.040 Really?

00:27:55.080 Maybe.

00:27:56.000 Maybe they win.

00:27:57.060 Maybe Republicans will be more active than some sideline voters that don't typically go out to the polls.

00:28:02.580 Yeah, maybe.

00:28:03.780 Maybe.

00:28:04.180 I doubt it.

00:28:04.940 Maybe.

00:28:05.740 I still think.

00:28:06.220 Because my reaction is a little like Pat's.

00:28:08.640 Huh.

00:28:10.380 Well, I mean, it's a six-year term.

00:28:15.620 I'm getting out of the car before they drive it over the cliff, but they are driving it over the cliff.

00:28:22.780 Assuming we still have a nation in the next couple of elections, it will be nice to have a one-seat cushion as we see how close these things are.

00:28:30.020 The next couple of elections?

00:28:31.580 Yes.

00:28:32.040 2024, 26.

00:28:33.840 I was expecting like next couple of months.

00:28:36.060 It is important though.

00:28:37.280 And next time the map tilts towards Republicans, as we've discussed many times.

00:28:42.060 Yeah, we have a better shot.

00:28:43.360 Yeah.

00:28:43.620 2024 should be a good year.

00:28:45.640 Yeah.

00:28:46.500 Vince McConnell's going to see to that.

00:28:48.480 Well, I thought you were just talking about maybe replacing him with somebody you'd be more excited about.

00:28:53.360 Now, there are some people that are talking about it as well.

00:28:57.900 You know, there's Josh Hawley.

00:29:03.020 Okay.

00:29:03.620 Eric Schmidt.

00:29:04.660 Yes.

00:29:05.020 Rick Scott.

00:29:06.060 Good.

00:29:06.340 Ron Johnson.

00:29:07.420 All right.

00:29:08.100 Lindsey Graham.

00:29:09.600 Lindsey Graham.

00:29:10.540 Yeah.

00:29:10.880 That's a surprising one.

00:29:11.580 Yeah.

00:29:11.980 Mike Lee.

00:29:13.060 Huh.

00:29:13.400 J.D. Vance.

00:29:14.460 Okay.

00:29:14.880 Ted Cruz.

00:29:15.640 Like that.

00:29:16.380 Rubio.

00:29:17.160 Rubio is in that.

00:29:18.200 Mm-hmm.

00:29:18.640 Mm-hmm.

00:29:19.340 There's a few.

00:29:20.500 Murkowski, strangely not.

00:29:21.960 Huh.

00:29:22.400 What a surprise.

00:29:22.860 Strangely not.

00:29:23.340 Stunning surprise.

00:29:24.520 Did they call that race yet?

00:29:25.500 I don't know.

00:29:26.240 The Murkowski one?

00:29:26.680 I haven't checked that one in a while.

00:29:27.900 Have they?

00:29:27.920 For the love of Pete, just call it Alaska.

00:29:29.740 I know.

00:29:30.300 I don't know if they have yet.

00:29:31.560 I do.

00:29:32.840 No, they haven't because they have to do the ranked choice thing and they have to wait for

00:29:35.380 all the votes to come in.

00:29:36.160 But she's going to.

00:29:36.680 I think Murkowski's the favorite there by March.

00:29:39.560 Of course she is.

00:29:40.460 Of course she is.

00:29:41.500 You're going to go for the more of the two evils.

00:29:46.540 Not the lesser.

00:29:47.380 It's never where we go.

00:29:49.940 So Chewbacca is currently up by two points.

00:29:52.760 But this is.

00:29:56.140 It went asked for a comment.

00:29:57.920 Asked for a comment.

00:29:58.860 That's what she said.

00:30:01.920 We've been talking about that race for like two weeks.

00:30:04.200 We're like, why have we not talked about this race with Pat in here?

00:30:07.220 We need Pat in here when we're talking about the Chewbacca race. 0.87

00:30:11.360 Right.

00:30:11.780 Because it's important to have somebody that can do.

00:30:19.480 Murkowski's at 42.8.

00:30:20.620 But the way this breaks out, of course, when you do the ranked choice voting, you're going

00:30:24.680 to lose the last candidate first.

00:30:26.420 And her vote, which I think the last one is a Republican, but it's only a couple percent.

00:30:31.240 And that, let's just say that even goes to Chewbacca, which it could go either way.

00:30:35.300 The next one's a Democrat.

00:30:36.340 And that's, I think, nine percent of the vote.

00:30:38.960 And that that percentage will be distributed between it will almost exclusively go to Murkowski,

00:30:44.680 which should be over the 50 point.

00:30:47.620 And that's the way I'm looking at that race. 0.54

00:30:49.520 Now, of course, there's still a bunch of votes to come in.

00:30:51.080 Alaska is one of these from labor unions.

00:30:54.480 Possibly.

00:30:55.560 I think you have 14 days after the election to have your they wait 14 days, something like

00:31:00.800 that to get all the votes in.

00:31:02.980 What?

00:31:03.500 Yeah.

00:31:04.180 Look, do they have to be at least?

00:31:06.340 Like marked the day?

00:31:08.080 I think they have to be postmarked.

00:31:09.420 Postmarked by.

00:31:09.960 And you might say, like, it's three towns away and it still takes 14 days.

00:31:13.600 And that could be the truth.

00:31:15.000 I don't know.

00:31:15.960 I think, you know, Alaska is a little bit of a different place.

00:31:18.520 But I mean, if there's one you can't there's no reason to do this in like California.

00:31:22.480 Like Alaska, maybe you have a there's some island out that no one's ever visited.

00:31:26.880 And I don't know.

00:31:28.420 It takes a while for the mail to get there.

00:31:30.500 Maybe.

00:31:31.160 But like, you know, it's like New York City.

00:31:33.460 We need six months.

00:31:34.560 Sorry.

00:31:34.900 I think Nevada did that either Nevada or Arizona.

00:31:37.820 I was reading about one of the two.

00:31:39.720 I can't remember over the weekend.

00:31:41.100 And they said that Saturday was the deadline for mail-in votes to arrive and be counted.

00:31:48.280 And it didn't even specify whether or not they had to be postmarked.

00:31:52.160 Yeah, they do have November 8th.

00:31:53.940 So that's good.

00:31:55.080 Well, the other ones they do is they're like, what?

00:31:57.600 You don't care about our military members serving overseas that want to get their votes?

00:32:02.380 What happens about a person who is in a cave in Afghanistan and decides on election day, he's going.

00:32:10.080 He needs to.

00:32:10.700 He gives it to a Sherpa who postmarks it on November 8th, who then has to walk it.

00:32:16.280 And he hasn't heard yet that we withdrew from Afghanistan a year ago.

00:32:20.600 He's in a cave.

00:32:21.480 How would he know?

00:32:22.080 You're right.

00:32:22.580 He just knows he wanted Catherine Cortez Masto to be the next senator.

00:32:27.900 I think that's a very good point.

00:32:30.020 A very good point.

00:32:31.120 And, you know, while you're at it, I mean, sure, he's over in a cave.

00:32:36.140 But you might be in the kitchen of some union kitchen where there's knives and you've got to get around all the knives as you're passing out the ballots and then collecting all the ballots and making sure that it gets there.

00:32:49.620 You might need a couple of months.

00:32:51.100 That's very likely.

00:32:52.020 It takes time.

00:32:52.340 That happens.

00:32:53.100 It takes time.

00:32:54.020 How many times have we seen that be the case for some of these voters?

00:32:57.660 Many, many times.

00:32:59.680 Many times.

00:33:00.360 Or you might be dead and it takes you a little longer to get it out of your casket, above ground, into the hand of a mailman, and all the way to the voting place.

00:33:11.060 You know?

00:33:11.580 Right.

00:33:11.860 It takes some time for the dead to get their vote counted.

00:33:14.520 They move slowly.

00:33:15.820 If you've ever seen a horror movie or a zombie movie.

00:33:18.500 I don't know if you've seen this.

00:33:19.980 I've seen this happen.

00:33:21.260 You have to convince the worms to take that letter up above the soil.

00:33:28.500 And a lot of them don't want to.

00:33:29.780 No.

00:33:30.260 And they have to grab that ballot with their teeth.

00:33:35.900 With their worm teeth?

00:33:37.140 With their worm teeth.

00:33:38.280 Okay.

00:33:38.500 With their worm teeth and get that up there. 1.00

00:33:40.560 Yeah.

00:33:40.780 And worm teeth, you know, they might bite through the, they might start eating the ballot. 0.99

00:33:45.060 You have to get it up there before they finish dissolving it.

00:33:47.680 That was the problem with the, with the Chads.

00:33:50.500 Oh.

00:33:51.000 Really?

00:33:51.380 Yeah.

00:33:51.720 The worm teeth.

00:33:52.580 The worm teeth.

00:33:52.820 It was worm teeth.

00:33:53.540 Dang it.

00:33:54.200 Man.

00:33:54.780 So many of our problems come back with worm teeth.

00:33:57.040 So many.

00:33:57.520 You know?

00:33:58.240 Yeah.

00:33:58.760 Good chunk of them.

00:33:59.460 Hey, so can I, can I just give you a story about Walgreens?

00:34:04.620 Walgreens has decided to close three locations in Boston.

00:34:08.320 Oh, what racists. 0.81

00:34:10.460 Man.

00:34:11.180 Thank you for saying that.

00:34:11.980 You're welcome.

00:34:13.120 Yes.

00:34:13.320 It's so clear and obvious that that's all about racism.

00:34:15.940 It is.

00:34:16.920 Now, they might have been, you know, robbed every day.

00:34:22.540 Yeah, but who isn't?

00:34:24.220 That's just sheer, unadulterated racism.

00:34:27.920 Thank you, Pat.

00:34:28.920 You're welcome.

00:34:28.980 I was glad somebody said it.

00:34:30.420 I was, I was hoping you, I was hoping you would see that like the city of Boston does.

00:34:35.380 Everything is racism now, isn't it?

00:34:37.500 Everything is racist.

00:34:38.400 It's true.

00:34:39.120 It's true.

00:34:39.540 I was, my wife and I went away.

00:34:42.200 I was in Nashville, Nashville.

00:34:44.040 I love Nashville.

00:34:44.880 It's a great town with great people around.

00:34:47.060 Went into a Walgreens there and that was an interesting experience.

00:34:50.940 Really?

00:34:51.200 Yeah, it was different than most of the Walgreens that I go to in a normal way.

00:34:55.260 Well, she was inside the store accosted by multiple homeless people while she was in

00:35:02.120 her aisle and I was in my other aisle and she had to kind of come over and, and, and

00:35:07.080 let me know.

00:35:08.340 Now, this is like, you have.

00:35:10.640 She has a problem with homeless people? 0.91

00:35:12.200 Yeah, right.

00:35:12.900 In this, in this, in this circumstance.

00:35:14.800 Yes.

00:35:15.040 First of all.

00:35:15.720 Wow.

00:35:16.140 On the walk over there, obviously there was 1400 homeless people that came up and asked

00:35:20.580 us for money or looked at us in a, in, in, in, in a threatening manner of some sort.

00:35:26.200 But that's just Nashville.

00:35:27.800 That's just what you, what's going on down there, downtown.

00:35:30.640 Yeah.

00:35:31.180 After you could crawl over the giant bags of trash that are on every single corner.

00:35:35.680 But once you get past that whole circumstance, you think once you're inside the Walgreens,

00:35:42.000 you're going to have a moment, a respite of some sort.

00:35:45.000 Listen to this elitism, Glenn.

00:35:47.020 I know.

00:35:47.600 I know.

00:35:47.960 I need the elitism of this guy.

00:35:49.820 I know.

00:35:50.080 My gosh.

00:35:50.640 Oh, wow.

00:35:51.440 I mean, like, but.

00:35:52.100 It's sad.

00:35:52.680 It's a real problem for these.

00:35:54.080 That's what happens when they shop at Walgreens all the time.

00:35:57.080 You know what I mean?

00:35:57.660 They're just like.

00:35:58.340 The upscale Walgreens.

00:35:59.120 The upscale Walgreens.

00:36:01.540 You do kind of expect, though, inside a store to not be harassed by people.

00:36:06.680 Okay.

00:36:07.260 And apparently not.

00:36:08.660 Okay.

00:36:09.340 Apparently not.

00:36:10.140 You expect to be harassed by salespeople trying to sell you stuff.

00:36:13.240 That's what I expect going into a store.

00:36:14.600 Is that the way it happens at Tiffany's?

00:36:17.520 I don't know, Glenn.

00:36:18.500 Do you want to get into an elitism battle on the air? 0.54

00:36:20.520 Oh, we're all out of time.

00:36:22.280 I just want to make sure.

00:36:24.840 Let me tell you about upside.

00:36:26.820 Upside, for people who aren't elitist, people who want to save money,

00:36:31.080 Upside is an app that you can just download from the app store,

00:36:34.660 and it will save you tons of money.

00:36:36.580 In fact, Stu put it on his phone.

00:36:39.240 I did.

00:36:39.880 And I saved 35 cents because I'm such an elitist.

00:36:42.560 I care about 35 cents a gallon on my gas.

00:36:44.780 See, he doesn't even miss it.

00:36:47.320 He doesn't even miss it.

00:36:48.060 I did miss it.

00:36:48.600 I was excited about the Upside app.

00:36:50.700 And by the way, it's not just gas, too.

00:36:52.440 They've got restaurants.

00:36:53.780 They've got all sorts of stuff on there.

00:36:55.440 You just go on there.

00:36:56.100 You just pull up the map, and then you just go to that place

00:36:58.780 because you know you're going to save 8%, 10%.

00:37:00.580 I mean, it really is incredible.

00:37:02.660 I wish I, you know, again, you hear about these things,

00:37:05.660 and you don't do it for a while.

00:37:07.120 You save 8% at a restaurant.

00:37:08.300 That's, I mean.

00:37:09.160 For me, thousands of dollars.

00:37:11.700 And you've saved all that money from the tip.

00:37:14.220 I mean, you give, like, you get double the back.

00:37:16.880 I mean, if you're saving 8%, you're only giving a 4% tip.

00:37:20.520 Stu is usually do.

00:37:21.140 That's not what I give at all.

00:37:22.020 I give much more than that, Glenn.

00:37:23.320 Do you?

00:37:24.000 6%.

00:37:24.440 No.

00:37:25.400 See?

00:37:26.000 No, much more than that.

00:37:26.720 This is what these guys, you know, the Monopoly man, this is what they're like.

00:37:30.500 This is what they're like.

00:37:31.620 Anyway, download your free Upside app now at upside.com slash Beck.

00:37:39.140 You'll get 25 cents back for every gallon on your first tank of gas.

00:37:44.020 You could get more, as Stu said.

00:37:47.680 He saved 35, but regular schlubs like us, probably not.

00:37:52.780 25 to 35.

00:37:54.640 You don't know.

00:37:56.280 25 cents per gallon for sure.

00:37:59.540 Every gallon of gas, every gallon that you put into your first tank of gas,

00:38:04.460 once you've downloaded Upside.com slash Beck.

00:38:07.920 Do it now.

00:38:08.480 Upside.com slash Beck.

00:38:10.340 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:38:12.060 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:38:28.020 May I ask a question?

00:38:29.340 Um, why is it that politicians are so gracious on, uh, the first Tuesday of November?

00:38:38.820 Yeah.

00:38:39.480 And yet, when it comes to April 15th, this is a good, this is a, yes.

00:38:44.060 You, you must have it in.

00:38:48.080 You have it in.

00:38:49.400 You don't have that in on, on April 15th.

00:38:53.260 Why then?

00:38:54.480 There's, there's hell to pay, mister.

00:38:56.440 There's hell to pay.

00:38:57.660 You know, I just recently paid my taxes, Glenn.

00:39:00.420 And you might say, wait a minute, isn't it November?

00:39:02.640 And yes, that is accurate.

00:39:04.160 Uh, I did, well, file my taxes is the more appropriate, uh, way of putting it because

00:39:09.660 I was owed money in a refund.

00:39:12.960 Now they owed me money in a refund.

00:39:14.580 So, uh, I wasn't all that concerned about getting it in on time.

00:39:18.700 So, because they owed me money, right?

00:39:21.760 Like, I mean, I obviously should have been more concerned about it.

00:39:24.900 That's when I'm really concerned.

00:39:26.000 But I mean, I'm like, I obviously want the money back, but I know I'm going to get it

00:39:29.280 back.

00:39:29.560 And it's like, I, I just didn't want to pay the penalties if I owed them money, right?

00:39:33.720 Correct.

00:39:34.800 Well, guess what?

00:39:36.140 I got my refund back and it was less than I was supposed to get because they actually

00:39:41.720 penalized me for filing my return late, even though they owed me money.

00:39:48.100 So then they took money out of the refund and kept it because they said I didn't pay.

00:39:52.760 I, I didn't file early enough.

00:39:56.360 Sometimes, not an awful lot lately, but sometimes when you speak, it makes me happy.

00:40:02.040 Why?

00:40:02.720 So, so wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:40:04.100 I want to, I want to go back.

00:40:05.680 How is it?

00:40:07.000 There are certain things that you, you have to do.

00:40:12.220 Right.

00:40:13.260 But when it comes to voting, eh, get it in when you can.

00:40:16.980 You know, it is amazing.

00:40:17.800 You don't have to come on the day.

00:40:18.940 You can come up to, I don't know, six weeks beforehand.

00:40:21.280 And by the way, if you, if you can't get, if you just can't make it in that six week

00:40:26.460 period, you can come on election day.

00:40:28.500 And if you just can't make it on election day, you can mail your ballot.

00:40:32.760 And if you just can't mail your ballot early enough for it to arrive by election day, you

00:40:37.620 just have to postmark it on election day and then it can arrive up to two weeks late.

00:40:42.620 And if your candidate is behind and you're part of a labor union, there's all new rules

00:40:48.620 for you.

00:40:49.320 Right.

00:40:49.520 All new rules.

00:40:50.340 But like, isn't this a normal like thing to ask people to do if you're paying a bill?

00:40:57.800 I know I send my bill in early so it arrives that day.

00:41:02.260 Right.

00:41:03.240 I think that's basic.

00:41:04.980 We say like all the time, like, yeah, we got to be able to prove who you are.

00:41:07.800 Voter ID is important.

00:41:08.780 And almost 90% of people agree with that point.

00:41:11.840 No, but the politicians really don't.

00:41:14.660 They don't.

00:41:15.180 Right.

00:41:15.300 They don't agree with that, you know.

00:41:17.620 And yet, when you go to an airport, it's definitely not racist to have photo ID.

00:41:23.940 No, not there.

00:41:24.760 It's not.

00:41:25.180 No.

00:41:25.460 No.

00:41:25.760 That's the non-racist ID.

00:41:27.640 Yeah.

00:41:27.880 There are racist IDs and non-racist IDs.

00:41:30.940 Right.

00:41:31.320 Not sure which is which yet, but we'll get there.

00:41:36.100 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:37.600 When you find something that really works to solve a problem in your life, you grab onto

00:41:41.640 that thing and you try not to let go.

00:41:44.260 That's how I've felt about Rough Greens for a while.

00:41:47.280 I have President Miles.

00:41:48.560 You may know President Miles.

00:41:49.920 And we call him President Miles because he sleeps approximately 22, 23 hours a day.

00:41:55.500 He's a 17-year-old pug.

00:41:57.560 He does not move around all that much.

00:41:59.660 But when he does, it's always encouraging to see it.

00:42:02.680 He's kind of like the President of the United States.

00:42:04.340 He's still moving around.

00:42:05.240 You're kind of like, wow, but to see him actually, you know, he definitely deals with joint pain

00:42:11.280 issues and it's tough for him to get around sometimes.

00:42:13.600 And that's why Rough Greens is really important to him, for him.

00:42:17.020 They have vitamins and nutrients packed into a supplement that basically, first of all,

00:42:21.160 he loves eating and it tastes great for dogs, but also it gives him all those nutrients

00:42:25.660 that are lost from the sort of dead dog food that you get on the store shelves.

00:43:40.660 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:47.120 Boy, there is a huge scandal brewing.

00:43:52.280 If you have heard about the FTX scandal and maybe don't understand what's really going on,

00:44:01.700 we have a ton to report in 60 seconds.

00:44:08.440 So here's a stat that should shock you a bit.

00:44:11.020 55% of Americans carry their credit card balance over from month to month.

00:44:16.840 55% of Americans.

00:44:20.080 That's a huge number.

00:44:22.120 Things are expensive.

00:44:24.040 Life is expensive and getting more so.

00:44:27.360 The down economy that we've been experiencing has seen to that.

00:44:33.700 But you and I both know this leads to massive credit card debt with through-the-roof interest rates.

00:44:41.020 How are you going to be able to handle that?

00:45:39.080 Vivek Rameshwamy is with us now.

00:45:42.900 Vivek.

00:45:46.020 Vivek, are you there?

00:45:47.800 Glenn, how are you?

00:45:49.400 I'm good.

00:45:50.560 Kind of a disappointing week last week, but recovering from it and moving on.

00:45:58.660 Yeah, well, you know, that's the only way forward, right?

00:46:00.320 I know, it is.

00:46:01.600 So, Vivek, I wanted to get you on to explain the FTX thing to somebody like me that's not really up on FTX,

00:46:11.740 and I haven't been following this 30-year-old guy.

00:46:14.480 Tell me what's happening and what it means.

00:46:18.040 It's a really interesting story, Glenn, and not all of the details are crystal clear yet.

00:46:22.900 I can give you the super detailed version if you're interested, but the slightly less summary version

00:46:28.100 is that there's a guy who operated an exchange called FTX, right?

00:46:34.040 That was the exchange where people trade cryptocurrencies.

00:46:37.000 It's like Coinbase.

00:46:38.880 Yeah, exactly.

00:46:39.880 Except this is offshore, Coinbase is onshore.

00:46:41.740 So, think about that as an exchange.

00:46:43.840 But it's a centralized exchange.

00:46:45.520 It just happens to trade cryptocurrencies.

00:46:47.360 So, it's like an old school, think of that as an equivalent of like a stock exchange, except

00:46:51.300 people can trade cryptocurrencies on it.

00:46:53.640 Now, that's owned and founded by and lead owner is Sam Bankman-Fried, who goes by SBS.

00:46:59.100 But he also had a separate hedge fund called Alameda.

00:47:05.180 So, that's a trading firm.

00:47:06.800 So, that's not an exchange.

00:47:07.940 That's just trading to try to make money, like people always have.

00:47:11.180 On Wall Street, this has existed for a very long time.

00:47:13.960 Hedge funds that just traded their own capital to make more money.

00:47:17.680 So, he's operating both the exchange and his own hedge fund.

00:47:21.240 And it appears what happened was when that hedge fund encountered a bunch of losses,

00:47:25.940 and they have leverage, right?

00:47:27.300 That means they're borrowing.

00:47:28.460 That means they have to post collateral to cover for those losses.

00:47:32.500 So, it appears what he did was he took customer funds from the exchange, but used that to

00:47:40.440 borrow it and post it as collateral.

00:47:42.680 And when that came to light, the other participants in that exchange, particularly one big market

00:47:49.700 participant, this guy Changpeng Zhao, said that he was going to dump a bunch of the, and

00:47:56.000 this is where it gets a little bit complicated, but a bunch of the token issued by the exchange

00:48:00.620 that basically caused the value of that token, the instrument that people hold on the exchange

00:48:05.480 to collapse.

00:48:06.780 And that sent a free fall spiral that caused the whole house of cards to come crashing

00:48:11.580 down.

00:48:12.020 So, you know, putting complexities in the details to one side, which we can get into if you want,

00:48:17.280 the bottom line is there's a guy who is self-dealing, using customer money on an exchange to cover

00:48:23.260 his own personal trading losses, tried to cover it up.

00:48:27.360 When that came to light, there was a house of cards that came crashing.

00:48:30.920 And unfortunately, many of those customers are likely going to lose a lot of their money

00:48:35.300 and even the portion they get back, they're not going to see for a very long time.

00:48:38.680 So that's just descriptively what happened.

00:48:41.040 But boy, is there a lot more that's interesting to this story when you look at this guy who

00:48:44.600 was a major donor to the Democratic Party, one of the major faces of advocating for regulation

00:48:50.540 of the cryptocurrency industry in Washington, D.C., that created the smokescreen that prevented

00:48:55.620 people from being able to see through this fundamental fraud.

00:48:59.460 Okay, so let's, I want to go there, but first let's start.

00:49:02.080 He's like 30 years old, and the woman running the hedge fund, his girlfriend looks like she's 14.

00:49:13.180 Yeah, I'm not going to, I don't have the facts, but I will tell you, it did not look good.

00:49:20.040 It surprised me a little bit.

00:49:21.440 Right.

00:49:21.880 So how is it that these two people pulled the wool over so many people's eyes?

00:49:27.960 So it's a great question.

00:49:30.940 I think it has to do with cultivating this do-good image, this futurist image on the promise of

00:49:38.300 cryptocurrency and the importance of what that would mean for humanity.

00:49:42.220 I mean, at the end of the day, these are nothing, this guy is nothing more than a high-frequency

00:49:46.580 trader.

00:49:47.420 And there's nothing wrong with being a high-frequency trader, but it's just, you're in the business

00:49:50.840 ordinarily to just make an extra buck, to make an extra buck by beating somebody else

00:49:55.680 in the sport of trading effectively.

00:49:57.560 But what he managed to do was to disguise that in the veneer of this moral superiority,

00:50:03.240 this morality.

00:50:04.660 And the funniest part about this, Glenn, is that a lot of people miss this.

00:50:08.720 This is going to have a backlash that I think is going to be over-inclusive, where this guy

00:50:14.860 was operating a centralized exchange.

00:50:17.460 That's no different than an old-school exchange.

00:50:19.640 It just happened to offer trading in cryptocurrencies.

00:50:21.740 So there's really nothing that fancy or even futuristic, let alone morally humanistic, about

00:50:27.680 it.

00:50:28.040 It's just an old-school exchange where people trade stuff, and the stuff they've trained

00:50:30.960 it as a cryptocurrency.

00:50:32.340 But the actual promise of the future of cryptocurrency, of decentralization, is actually decentralized

00:50:38.280 exchanges, where there's no single centralized owner of the exchange.

00:50:42.820 And the irony here, Glenn, is I think this is going to provoke a backlash from regulators

00:50:47.840 to the entire cryptocurrency, including decentralized exchanges.

00:50:53.240 And the irony, here's the ultimate irony that a lot of people miss, he couldn't have done

00:50:57.520 what he did if it were actually a truly decentralized exchange.

00:51:01.920 The only way he was able to borrow those customer funds as one actor and lend it over to his hedge

00:51:07.560 fund to post his collateral is the fact that the exchange was centralized in the first place.

00:51:12.100 And so the irony here is you have this guy who was the face of pro-regulation.

00:51:17.160 He was a pro-regulatory advocate in Washington, D.C., which is why everyone viewed him as the

00:51:22.680 good guy, the golden boy.

00:51:25.380 And yet the irony is he happened to be the fraudster, and then the reaction to that is

00:51:29.440 likely going to include over-regulating decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges, which would have been

00:51:35.940 probably the best way of actually preventing this fraud.

00:51:38.860 So that's the irony in the whole story that I think people haven't yet caught up to see.

00:51:42.740 Isn't he also big in ESG and the World Economic Forum?

00:51:50.260 It's all part of the smokescreen, exactly.

00:51:51.800 It's all just part of the smokescreen, Glenn.

00:51:54.220 That is part of it.

00:51:55.800 Now, there was a story that was floating around on social media yesterday that actually found

00:52:00.040 that a subsidiary of FactSet, which is one of these rating companies, assigned an ESG score

00:52:06.960 on a leadership and governance metric, including as it related to sustainability standards,

00:52:11.940 that was higher for this company than ExxonMobil, which is a company that most Americans will

00:52:19.020 know and has been around for a long time.

00:52:21.000 Okay.

00:52:21.280 So that's the bit of the farce in this.

00:52:23.560 But that's just one example of the farce.

00:52:26.260 He's pro-regulation.

00:52:27.620 So the Democrats in Washington, D.C., see him as a good guy.

00:52:30.140 He is the second largest donor to Democrats this cycle, donating over $30 million, another

00:52:36.000 point on the strike and the tally of being the good guy.

00:52:39.100 Wait, wait, hang on.

00:52:39.880 Didn't he also say that for 2024, he will donate up to a billion dollars to the Democrats?

00:52:48.060 Yes.

00:52:48.540 So the funny thing is what he said is he was going to donate a billion dollars over the

00:52:53.240 2022 and 2024 cycle.

00:52:55.560 Now, the sad part for a lot of Democrats is they were kind of upset at him because you

00:52:59.580 might think that meant like a few hundred million now and more hundred million then.

00:53:04.300 Actually, he only ended up donating 30 plus million.

00:53:06.260 So the side note to the story, kind of the comic part of this, a lot of Democrats are actually

00:53:10.220 upset at him for only ponying up a little over 30 million because he had committed to

00:53:13.840 a billion.

00:53:14.500 But you see, this guy has a common pattern, over-promising and under-delivering.

00:53:18.500 It turns out that applies to political donations as well.

00:53:21.640 But the broader point, though, Glenn, is it's just checking all the boxes.

00:53:24.960 Speaking with Clinton on stage and Tony Blair, boldly wearing shorts, being the cool guy of

00:53:31.220 the future, World Economic Forum, all that, that entire crowd, ESG rating, donations to

00:53:36.620 the Democratic Party, being vocally pro-regulation in an industry where the other entrepreneurs

00:53:42.040 have, in my opinion, for good reason, resisted regulation.

00:53:45.820 That created the cultivated aura of this being one of the good guys, one of the guys you could

00:53:50.700 trust.

00:53:51.260 And it reminds me a lot of, actually, that CEO of Volkswagen.

00:53:55.680 You remember this guy, Winterkorn?

00:53:57.840 He was the CEO of Volkswagen, which was the number one ESG award-winning company.

00:54:02.980 Yes.

00:54:03.340 Until they found, and by the way, he would wax eloquent about climate change and the energy

00:54:07.020 transition until they found that he had actually rigged the emissions measurements in their

00:54:11.580 own cars, right?

00:54:12.680 This reminded me a lot of that story, where the person who protests the case for the futurism

00:54:20.340 of the ESG-laden world, one of the good guys about the pro-regulation crowd, ended up being

00:54:25.840 the most fraudulent of them all.

00:54:28.200 And it's not an accident that that pattern just repeats itself time and again, because it's

00:54:34.080 all about creating a smokescreen to allow you to get away with the kind of fraud you would

00:54:39.160 have never gotten away with if people hadn't been thrown off the scent with the smokescreen

00:54:44.400 that you put up.

00:54:45.160 So that's the story.

00:54:46.600 It happens again and again.

00:54:48.180 And I wish people would learn the lesson, Glenn.

00:54:50.220 But there's something about us as a people that make us suckers for the smokescreen of

00:54:54.860 wanting to be the pro-ESG, pro-Democrat, pro-regulation good guys, that every time that

00:55:00.000 ends up being actually a pretty good way to throw the regulators and to throw customers

00:55:04.220 off the scent and to be able to get away with something like this.

00:55:07.060 And Vivek, there's a real big media angle here to this too, because this is yet another

00:55:13.120 example, Elizabeth Holmes style, where they made this guy into a hero.

00:55:17.520 All the things, like he doesn't brush his hair.

00:55:20.240 There were stories about how he wears shorts to every meeting.

00:55:23.960 One story talked about how he would fall asleep on beanbag chairs outside of offices and they'd

00:55:30.340 bring in all these multi-billion dollar donors past him while he was sleeping.

00:55:34.960 And then he would wake up and waddle into the meeting like 10 minutes later.

00:55:40.000 And this was like, he's just a genius.

00:55:42.540 He doesn't even care.

00:55:43.980 He's asleep on a beanbag outside the meeting.

00:55:46.380 One story talked about, these are all praising him, where he was playing video games during

00:55:52.020 an entire presentation while he was in there.

00:55:54.460 And they gave him a billion dollars after this meeting where he was playing League of Legends

00:55:59.400 throughout an entire meeting.

00:56:00.780 Unbelievable.

00:56:01.140 And like, there's no mea culpa from the media after all of this who built this guy into this

00:56:06.980 celebrity to get all of these dollars.

00:56:09.480 And there will never be a time.

00:56:11.500 All they'll get is a bunch of podcasts later on hosted by the same reporters who initially

00:56:17.440 interviewed him and made him into this superstar.

00:56:20.060 I mean, it's a ridiculous cycle.

00:56:22.580 You make such a good point.

00:56:24.160 And this is less a story about this random guy, SPF, whatever.

00:56:27.760 He came two years ago.

00:56:29.260 He'll be gone, you know, two months from now.

00:56:31.420 But it's an indictment of our culture.

00:56:34.480 I mean, what is it about our state of our psyche, our cultural psyche in the U.S., even

00:56:41.120 internationally, that causes us to bear this self-inflicting pain every time, to line up

00:56:47.560 behind a guy who not only poses to be the boy genius, I mean, that was Elizabeth Holmes

00:56:52.220 version of this, but to take that to the next level, to think that he is actually better

00:56:57.100 than the rest of us just because he checked the boxes that we had created in our artificial

00:57:02.720 edifice of ESG and of humanitarianism and of political philanthropy.

00:57:09.420 It's almost as though we did this to ourselves and he was just the guy who happened to ride

00:57:14.180 the wave that the rest of our culture had created.

00:57:17.220 That's the more interesting part of this story because it's the Volkswagen thing all

00:57:21.000 over again.

00:57:21.920 You know, it's Unilever in Kenya.

00:57:23.560 I mean, it's all the stuff I've been writing and talking about for two years.

00:57:26.320 We just see the same story repeat itself in different clothing.

00:57:29.800 It just happened to be in the closing of cryptocurrency this time around.

00:57:32.980 So I heard on the podcast, All In, I heard Brian Armstrong, who is the CEO of Coinbase,

00:57:41.660 saying he didn't see this one coming at all.

00:57:45.480 He said, I just thought he was a really good guy.

00:57:49.020 He said, now, in retrospect, I guess I did see things, but I ignored them.

00:57:54.100 Was there anybody who saw this?

00:57:58.280 Not that I know of.

00:57:59.320 I mean, I think that's what makes it such a big story, right?

00:58:01.200 And I'm not even, you know, I follow the cryptocurrency space, but that's not an area where I spend

00:58:06.360 an immense inordinate amount of my time.

00:58:08.040 I'm focused more on, you know, equity markets, et cetera.

00:58:11.340 But there is something about seeing a guy who is calling for greater regulation in his own

00:58:18.620 industry while also making greater donations to the very people who are responsible for crafting

00:58:26.040 those regulations.

00:58:26.820 Gosh, that sounds a bad taste in my mouth.

00:58:29.100 That alone struck me as potentially false and inauthentic.

00:58:34.760 Now, was that going to underlie a $30 billion, $40 billion fraud?

00:58:37.900 I did not necessarily go to the extent of predicting that.

00:58:40.580 There was something that was amiss about this in terms of calling for self-hating regulation

00:58:44.520 while donating to very people who are going to write those regulations.

00:58:46.660 Man, that's strange.

00:58:47.720 That sounds a little like Zuckerberg.

00:58:51.460 It actually does, doesn't it?

00:58:52.880 It does.

00:58:53.840 Yeah, it does.

00:58:54.680 It does.

00:58:56.480 It's pattern repeats itself, Glenn.

00:58:58.160 You know it well.

00:58:58.800 So it's not going to be, we could probably count it.

00:59:00.380 If we took 10 minutes, we could probably find 10 to 20 other examples that smell just like it.

00:59:04.020 We were with Vivek Ramaswamy and we're going to continue our conversation with him in just a second

00:59:10.600 because we haven't even gotten to the Ukraine part or the missing $1.7 billion.

00:59:17.420 We'll get to that in just a second.

00:59:19.100 First, let me tell you about rough greens.

00:59:21.380 If I handed you a plate of food and before you took the first bite, I said, oh, by the way,

00:59:25.960 we've completely sterilized that.

00:59:29.440 Would you be like, what do you mean by that?

00:59:33.680 Well, we just, we wanted to make sure it didn't have any nutritional value in it at all.

00:59:38.000 Would you eat it?

00:59:39.320 More to the point, would you eat it every day?

00:59:42.420 If your answer is no, and I hope it is, then let me ask you,

00:59:45.840 why would you expect anything to be different with your dog?

00:59:50.540 This is why your dog needs rough greens.

00:59:52.980 It's not a dog food.

00:59:54.040 It's a supplement developed by naturopathic doctor Dennis Black.

00:59:57.600 And you sprinkle it on the dog food and it has vitamins and minerals, probiotics, antioxidants.

01:00:03.040 All the things that are healthy for your dog.

01:00:06.180 Now, rough greens wants to make sure that your dog loves it as much as our dogs do.

01:00:10.540 Uno loves this stuff.

01:00:12.580 It's like dog crack.

01:00:13.620 I swear.

01:00:34.040 10 second station ID.

01:00:35.040 So I'm sketchy on all of this stuff of ache, but I there's a missing 1.7 billion billion dollars.

01:00:53.860 Is that accurate?

01:00:56.500 I can't say if it's accurate, but that is what that is.

01:00:59.340 That is what the latest reporting is.

01:01:02.100 Absolutely.

01:01:02.500 Yeah.

01:01:03.580 How do you misplace 1.7 billion dollars?

01:01:07.780 Well, the funny thing is now they're talking about this, about the potential hack into the system, too, after the fraud story came to light.

01:01:17.400 So I have no basis for this other than intuition.

01:01:20.440 But to say that that hack seems mysteriously well-timed.

01:01:25.300 So a guy is being investigated now for fraud, being scrutinized for fraud, for himself misappropriating those funds to his affiliated hedge fund from an exchange that he was operating for customers.

01:01:42.120 And then suddenly there's a hack.

01:01:43.880 And I think that it strikes me as a little convenient to sort of say that, OK, the hack is something that we can blame because that's something that's outside of all of our control.

01:01:52.540 When, in fact, at the very moment, for two years, there wasn't any report of a hack.

01:01:57.560 But now there's a report of a hack right when you are being investigated.

01:02:01.580 So that did that did smell a little bit amiss to me.

01:02:05.640 But, you know, the facts on this are changing by the day, changing by the hour.

01:02:11.120 But the lesson, I think, is actually less complicated than each of those detailed facts might, you know, might, you know, invite.

01:02:20.340 And I think that it's pretty simple, whether it was cryptocurrency or anything else.

01:02:24.960 There's just a guy who's operating in exchange for customers.

01:02:27.460 And you cannot use customer money without their express permission to advance your own financial trading goals, period.

01:02:37.240 That is a hard line.

01:02:38.960 And whether you're regulated or not, that is an illegal act of misappropriation, of theft, and then fraud and lying to the people who you're stealing from.

01:02:47.820 So it actually, in a certain sense, has nothing to do with cryptocurrency, has nothing to do with crypto regulation.

01:02:52.760 The only double irony of this is that if it had actually been operated as a truly decentralized exchange, this guy couldn't have even done the thing that he did.

01:03:03.240 And so in a certain sense, the crypto-ness of this, let alone the morality of this, is all just a deflection and a smokescreen from the essence of what was really nothing different than just an old school Madoff-esque fraud.

01:03:16.820 And is there anything more than just trading into fiat currency, becoming in bed with Ukraine and the main bank of Ukraine to trade cryptocurrency and get it into fiat currency so people could use it?

01:03:36.480 Do you think there's a money-making scam in there as well?

01:03:39.840 Well, I think there's no doubt that there is, you know, in all of crypto exchanges, sort of a money laundering element to it.

01:03:48.740 Yeah.

01:03:49.120 In the sense that, you know, you're using the supposed anonymity of these exchanges to be able to, you know, launder money that you otherwise would have not been able to launder.

01:04:01.240 But that's not unique to cryptocurrency.

01:04:03.140 Right.

01:04:03.380 You could have to do that in the current fiat.

01:04:04.880 No.

01:04:05.400 So that's a bit of a deflection.

01:04:06.560 I know.

01:04:07.060 Thank you so much, Vivek.

01:04:08.300 I appreciate it.

01:04:09.040 Vivek Ramaswamy, he is the author of Nation of Victims and co-founder and executive chairman of Strive Asset Management.

01:04:24.120 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:04:27.280 Hey, do you remember that time when our government pushed out a lot of student loan forgiveness?

01:04:31.560 Remember that plan?

01:04:32.580 Guess what?

01:04:33.220 You'll never guess.

01:04:34.160 Guess what?

01:04:34.620 Guess.

01:04:35.040 Guess.

01:04:36.560 All right.

01:04:37.020 Cyber criminals are already on top of it, and they're reaching out with emails and texts and phone calls, and they're pretending to be to the government to get your sensitive information.

01:04:46.920 Isn't that crazy?

01:04:48.300 Yeah.

01:04:48.900 Yeah.

01:04:49.220 So they could steal that money that I gave the government that you now have in your bank.

01:04:55.140 Oh, I love this.

01:04:56.420 Cyber criminals are way less evil than we give it, than we think.

01:05:05.100 I mean, if you're comparing them to the government, then they're way, they're much more evil than we think when we're not comparing them to the government.

01:05:14.080 It's important to understand how cyber crime and identity theft affect your life, and you need to protect it.

01:05:59.060 I want to share a story just to see if you can hear the cognitive dissonance in this story.

01:06:03.940 Last month, a 10-year-old boy walked into the nurse's office of his elementary school in Highland, New York.

01:06:12.920 He asked for some Vaseline.

01:06:15.440 He wanted the Vaseline to rub it on to his new tattoo, a crude rendering of his name in large block letters on the inside of his forearm.

01:06:24.760 The nurse called police. 0.98

01:06:28.100 The boy had gotten a tattoo with his mother's permission from a neighbor, according to local authorities.

01:06:37.160 While some states have no minimum age for receiving a tattoo if a parent allows it,

01:06:42.160 New York State forbids anyone younger than 18 from getting tattooed with or without parental consent.

01:06:50.780 Last month, both the tattoo artist Austin Smith, who was unlicensed, and the boy's mother were arrested

01:07:00.520 as pictures of the boy's arms stirred outrage across local and international news sites and social media.

01:07:10.780 You have got to be kidding me.

01:07:16.760 Now, let me give you another story.

01:07:18.760 Wait, why would you do a story?

01:07:21.580 About a tattoo, a local news story about a tattoo, why would that be of any relevance whatsoever to the American people?

01:07:29.940 You mean, why would I do that?

01:07:31.660 Yeah, why would you?

01:07:32.420 I don't know.

01:07:33.540 You don't know why you'd cover it?

01:07:34.480 I don't know.

01:07:35.560 It was just placed here by my Zionist overlords. 0.90

01:07:38.500 Oh, okay.

01:07:39.140 And I had to do that.

01:07:40.400 Now, if I may continue, Stu, without your rude questioning,

01:07:43.900 let me tell you about another story.

01:07:49.540 This one we're featuring on our Wednesday night special.

01:07:53.400 Our Wednesday night special is all about a country that has gone insane.

01:08:00.500 Now, just remember the little tattoo story as we share this story about a father who lost his children to the state.

01:08:13.080 That moment, the doctor places your newborn into your arms.

01:08:20.040 Your entire world changes.

01:08:23.340 I'll do everything in my power to keep you safe.

01:08:25.820 For Jeff, that moment arrived times two when his twin boys, James and Jude, were born.

01:08:39.800 And from the start, Jeff loved being a dad.

01:08:42.580 I was the stay-at-home parent for them.

01:08:45.440 I've raised them since they were the youngest children.

01:08:48.240 And we were very close and had a super tight bond right up until the courts took them away from me.

01:08:56.420 Everything changed when the boys were two years old.

01:09:00.360 Jeff's then-wife began telling James that timeouts were only for little boys.

01:09:06.300 And that...

01:09:07.060 The monsters only eat boys. 0.98

01:09:08.660 You better not be a boy.

01:09:09.860 Scaring him in these little timeouts.

01:09:14.000 And when I put my foot down and stopped that, she filed for a divorce almost immediately.

01:09:18.720 She's a pediatrician.

01:09:20.700 And using her connections with licensed care providers, she was able to get psychologists to basically force me out of my house.

01:09:27.960 And that's when the situation escalated again.

01:09:31.680 Jeff, who then still had 50-50 custody, took this video of James when he was only three years old.

01:09:38.160 You're a boy, right?

01:09:39.320 No.

01:09:40.760 I'm a girl.

01:09:42.320 Who told you you were a girl? 1.00

01:09:43.860 Mommy.

01:09:44.340 Mommy.

01:09:55.400 She puts dresses on you? 1.00

01:09:57.700 Oh, wow.

01:09:59.160 And what else does she do? 1.00

01:10:00.660 She buys my hat bands.

01:10:04.820 Uh-huh.

01:10:06.420 And she gets me hair clips.

01:10:11.460 Oh, hair clips?

01:10:12.320 Okay.

01:10:12.880 She enrolled them in school as a girl under a fake girl's name.

01:10:15.600 She started to claim that I couldn't cut my son's hair and that I couldn't use male pronouns. 0.61

01:10:22.320 And she went to court to try to force me to use male pronouns at home to stop presenting them to the world as a boy.

01:10:30.980 This evening, there's a decision to share in a volatile custody case involving a seven-year-old's gender.

01:10:36.260 The custody battles continued, but Jeff's ex-wife used her connections with psychologists to force her hand.

01:10:51.680 His 50-50 custody soon became every other weekend only.

01:10:56.680 This hurt the relationship between me and my sons tremendously.

01:11:00.520 And my sons were very sad about it and cried about it all the time.

01:11:05.400 So James, now 10, has lived his short life in a whirlwind of confusion.

01:11:12.040 So there was a time when every authority figure in my son's life except me was telling him he was a girl.

01:11:19.900 His teacher at school, the principal, the police officer at school, the librarian was telling him he was a girl, the lunch lady was telling him he was a girl.

01:11:27.240 His brother, although he didn't want to, was forced to use his girl's name.

01:11:32.260 But there's one part of James' story that makes it even more tragic.

01:11:36.380 And here's the important thing to know about my case.

01:11:38.280 My son has never presented as a girl to me.

01:11:41.280 He only presents as a girl when he's with his mother.

01:11:43.240 So my approach was just very simple, to show my son how great it is to be a man.

01:11:51.800 So we just did all the things that I did as a boy.

01:11:54.980 We hunted rabbits.

01:11:56.340 We tracked animals.

01:11:58.020 We did hikes.

01:11:59.580 We didn't need to worry about.

01:12:01.680 We were able to tough everything out.

01:12:04.300 And my son flourished under these conditions.

01:12:07.460 On the weekends, Jeff shared with his sons his love for boxing.

01:12:11.260 You know, he didn't think he could make it through those first workouts, you know.

01:12:14.740 And he saw that we could tough it out together.

01:12:17.680 We would get down there and do our one hour of floor work, working on our abs, working on our core.

01:12:23.000 And we could do all that together.

01:12:25.580 In a boxing gym, everybody that does the work gets respect.

01:12:29.880 And they enjoyed that.

01:12:31.160 They were treated like young men.

01:12:32.720 Their time together shaped James immensely.

01:12:35.260 They came to understand themselves as in command of their world, able to make changes in their world.

01:12:41.800 And this eventually culminated in my son refusing to wear a dress at his mother's home.

01:12:51.260 Because he likes being a man.

01:12:53.320 He told the court-appointed counselor that he wanted to be a boy and wanted to go to school as a boy.

01:13:00.080 The court-ordered counselor, she said, well, this child is saying he wants to be a boy.

01:13:04.500 That must be because the father's making him say that.

01:13:08.100 And on that basis, she recommended that the court take the children away from me.

01:13:12.020 Because my son has to be a boy.

01:13:16.920 The boy's mother moved them to California.

01:13:20.660 And Jeff says she's already beginning a full transformation for James.

01:13:25.260 He last saw them over a year ago.

01:13:28.040 But Jeff's battle is far from over.

01:13:29.820 In fact, quite the opposite is true.

01:13:32.200 But I assure you, I will not stop fighting for my son under any conditions.

01:13:37.460 We say, save James, save thousands of children, so we don't forget those other children.

01:13:43.060 He's fighting for more than just his son.

01:13:46.420 He's fighting for James.

01:13:48.480 But also for all the other kids whose parents just won't speak up.

01:13:54.060 And in my daily prayers, I always remember the other children and their parents who either can't or won't fight for them.

01:14:04.540 Save James.

01:14:09.020 Save thousands.

01:14:12.120 Wait until you meet this dad on Wednesday.

01:14:15.620 I think this guy is remarkable.

01:14:19.540 He is coming on against court orders.

01:14:22.920 He has a gag order.

01:14:25.260 He's not allowed to talk to anyone about this story.

01:14:29.460 He's going to be talking to us on Wednesday.

01:14:33.300 Come what may.

01:14:34.900 He actually would like the court to throw him in jail so he can challenge it.

01:14:42.720 Because he says it is unlawful and unconstitutional to have him stop telling the story.

01:14:50.800 It's amazing that we live in a world where New York is putting parents in jail if you give your child a tattoo.

01:15:00.140 However, you can take him to California and have them mutilated.

01:15:06.600 And that doesn't seem to be a problem with anyone.

01:15:10.560 You don't want to miss this.

01:15:12.940 It is a special on Wednesday night.

01:17:08.960 Oh boy, big news from Egypt, you know, at the UN climate conference.

01:17:32.200 They have come out and said, according to a new study, we've got nine years.

01:17:38.960 Nine more.

01:17:39.740 That's fantastic news.

01:17:41.260 I thought we were already pretty much toast.

01:17:43.200 Yeah, no, we've got nine more years.

01:17:44.580 We had passed the point of no return.

01:17:46.160 No, no, no.

01:17:46.860 We have nine more years now?

01:17:48.000 Nine years.

01:17:48.860 Well.

01:17:49.360 This is a miracle.

01:17:50.140 Well, I should say we have nine years, but they're very concerned because new gas projects

01:17:56.080 launched in response, you know, to Russia and Ukraine is,

01:18:01.020 is, will consume 10% of the remaining carbon budget that they have.

01:18:08.820 10% of the remaining carbon budget?

01:18:11.280 Yeah, yeah.

01:18:11.940 That sounds bad.

01:18:13.040 I thought this was good news.

01:18:14.200 Well, it makes it all but impossible for nations to meet the Paris Agreement goal

01:18:18.360 to limit the warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

01:18:21.860 Now, quick question here.

01:18:24.020 Natural gas is, we're talking about the same substance.

01:18:27.420 Yeah, yeah, yeah, natural gas.

01:18:28.560 The one that's almost exclusively responsible for the drops in emissions.

01:18:32.080 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:18:32.900 Moving from coal to natural gas.

01:18:33.940 Right, right, right, right.

01:18:34.520 But they're saying natural gas is the enemy.

01:18:36.220 Well, look, here's the problem.

01:18:37.560 Here's the problem.

01:18:39.420 You know, we've got more growth.

01:18:42.220 We have more growth.

01:18:42.920 Oh, no.

01:18:42.940 We have 1% increase in carbon dioxide just from burning fossil fuels right now.

01:18:47.980 And emissions, now listen to me, emissions in both the United States and India have increased

01:18:55.100 while China and the European Union will probably report small declines.

01:19:02.780 From what?

01:19:03.700 From the COVID year?

01:19:06.320 Because they have not been increasing overall.

01:19:09.660 They've been decreasing.

01:19:10.500 They've been on a long-term downward trend.

01:19:12.940 Stu, scientists are warning of the world's dangerous trajectory right now.

01:19:19.320 The trajectory has been down for decades.

01:19:21.080 No, no, no.

01:19:21.580 Leaders at the UN Climate Change Conference, okay?

01:19:25.100 Yeah.

01:19:25.500 They've advocated for natural gas as a transition fuel that will ease the world's switch from

01:19:31.700 fossil energy to renewables.

01:19:34.340 So at least four new gas projects have been reported or announced in the last 10 days with

01:19:40.360 several African countries pledging to expand export capacity and support and supply more

01:19:47.160 fuel to Europe.

01:19:48.380 That's why it's important, Glenn, to keep Africa in the Dark Ages. 1.00

01:19:52.340 You know, hopefully they can never have any piece of the civilization we've grown to know

01:19:57.240 and love.

01:19:57.700 Well.

01:19:58.100 If we keep them in a situation where they have none of the resources that we have, that's

01:20:04.280 much better for the planet.

01:20:05.680 Sure.

01:20:06.060 Just punish an entire continent of people. 0.98

01:20:07.900 Absolutely.

01:20:08.520 It's easy.

01:20:09.060 Well, it is the rhetoric.

01:20:11.040 It's the rhetoric of increased natural gas usage and production.

01:20:16.960 It's the rhetoric, I'm quoting, the rhetoric that has alarmed scientists and activists who

01:20:23.220 say expanding natural gas production could harm those very vulnerable communities and push

01:20:30.580 the planet towards a hotter, hellish future.

01:20:33.620 Quote, gas is not a low-carbon energy source.

01:20:38.920 End quote.

01:20:40.240 Wow.

01:20:40.820 That's a riveting quote, first of all.

01:20:42.380 I thought so, too.

01:20:43.340 I thought so, too.

01:20:44.240 That's one of the scientists over there.

01:20:45.900 So, the theory is if, let's say they get natural gas and they are able to experience

01:20:52.800 modern civilization.

01:20:54.240 Yeah, they'll burn to death in a hellish future.

01:20:57.660 That hellish future happens within an air-conditioned room.

01:21:03.680 With a room that has lighting and refrigeration.

01:21:07.260 Well, yeah.

01:21:08.000 Or they can theoretically avoid some of this hellish future if they just continue their

01:21:15.020 hellish present.

01:21:16.840 That sounds like a great idea.

01:21:19.120 Well, I'm sure they would sign on for that immediately.

01:21:22.520 Why wouldn't they?

01:21:24.080 Why wouldn't they just bypass, I guess, their entire lives of potential economic growth?

01:21:33.700 Look, we have to reduce our growth.

01:21:36.500 No.

01:21:36.960 We do not need to reduce our growth.

01:21:38.200 No, that.

01:21:38.700 I read it in the New York Times today.

01:21:40.460 Yeah, degrowth.

01:21:41.740 Yeah.

01:21:42.380 We have to have some degrowth.

01:21:45.100 That's not what...

01:21:46.380 You never say a plant when it dies.

01:21:48.160 You don't say, that's degrowing right now.

01:21:49.620 I'll tell you that.

01:21:50.240 No one ever says that.

01:21:51.480 What is this term, degrowth?

01:21:52.920 That's what's happening when plants degrow.

01:21:56.340 It doesn't lead to anything other than degrowth.

01:22:03.960 Degrowth.

01:22:04.600 Degrowth.

01:22:05.320 Yeah.

01:22:06.500 Decompose, I hear.

01:22:07.400 I hear that one a lot.

01:22:08.540 Why don't they ever say the economy?

01:22:09.600 We just need to decompose the economy for a little bit.

01:22:13.100 That would be a more sensible description.

01:22:14.940 Because that implies death.

01:22:17.380 Yes, it does imply death.

01:22:19.360 Death is completely different than degrowth.

01:22:22.280 It is.

01:22:23.100 Mm-hmm.

01:22:24.020 Mm-hmm.

01:22:24.340 Is it?

01:22:25.160 Is it, though?

01:22:26.560 That's my question.

01:22:27.540 Yeah.

01:22:28.040 Is it?

01:22:28.480 Well, I'm not a scientist, so I can't tell you.

01:22:30.800 But scientists are saying now, we have to degrow.

01:22:35.540 And I'm going to go out on a limb and say, I don't think so.

01:22:43.940 But then again, I'm a guy who's like, hey, let's not mutilate our kids.

01:22:48.600 You know?

01:22:50.080 And especially if it means that they get a tattoo.

01:22:52.820 I want that parent in prison. 0.99

01:22:57.100 I mean, they can cut off the, you know, parts of their body.

01:23:02.020 But no tattoos.

01:23:03.340 The Glenn Back Program.

01:23:03.700 American Society of Healthcare Pharmacists, which is the group that tracks the production

01:23:11.920 of medicines all around the world, recently came out and declared there's a worldwide

01:23:17.340 shortage of antibiotics, amoxicillin being the biggest of them, because it's extremely

01:23:23.480 important because it's used to combat all sorts of infections.

01:23:27.600 So, some places you can't even get it.

01:23:31.060 This is why I want to talk to you about Jace Case.

01:23:34.720 It is a pack of five different courses of antibiotics that you can use to treat a long

01:23:40.560 list of bacterial illnesses.

01:23:42.280 Things like UTIs, respiratory infections, sinusitis, skin infections, a lot more.

01:23:47.260 I want you to check this out, jacemedical.com, Jace, J-A-S-E, medical.com, and fill out the

01:23:57.600 online questionnaire.

01:23:58.760 It only takes a couple of minutes.

01:24:00.220 Then a licensed physician will review it, and you're in business.

01:24:04.080 Have these things on hand before they become scarce again in your neighborhood.

01:24:09.120 Jace, medical.com, and go to jacemedical.com, and go to jacemedical.com, and go to jacemedical.com.

01:24:33.460 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:25:00.540 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:25:05.360 Say it!

01:25:06.240 Yes, it is.

01:25:07.520 Hello, you sick, twisted freak. 1.00

01:25:09.180 Welcome to the program.

01:25:11.540 Well, we want to give you a little update on how things are going with the count.

01:25:17.440 Yes, almost a week in, and we're still counting.

01:25:22.340 We'll give you the update on that and so much more in 60 seconds.

01:25:25.760 First, I've encouraged you over and over again, do your own homework.

01:25:29.780 But media said, that's dangerous.

01:25:32.860 You're just letting people do their own homework.

01:25:34.880 Yes, I trust the people.

01:25:38.100 Of course, not the people of Pennsylvania, but that's a different story.

01:25:42.480 The folks over at Goldline want you to do the same.

01:25:45.600 You should be giving them a call this week.

01:25:47.860 They're going, or at least going to their website at goldline.com,

01:25:51.420 and checking out their notable weekly news vault.

01:25:54.900 You will find an excellent piece from Elliott Management, which manages over $50 billion in assets,

01:26:02.680 warning that looming hyperinflation could lead to global societal collapse.

01:26:07.560 I love this one.

01:26:09.520 That one's great.

01:26:10.800 It's flown a little under the radar of the mainstream media, but Goldline has it.

01:26:16.320 This is a page that I recommended they do a while back, and they have it up.

01:26:22.240 And it is really important.

01:26:24.520 If you want to stay ahead of things, you do your own homework.

01:26:27.440 Just go to their notable weekly news vault at goldline.com.

01:26:31.800 Also, they're offering a whole pile of free copper with every order right now.

01:26:36.060 The more you buy, the more you receive.

01:26:38.280 Goldline, call them today.

01:26:39.980 Find out how you can qualify for the free copper with every order.

01:26:44.400 Delivered right to your front door, it's 866-GOLDLINE.

01:26:47.440 866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.

01:26:55.080 So, Glenn.

01:26:56.120 So, Stu, nothing ever good starts with, so, Glenn.

01:27:02.900 Yeah.

01:27:04.180 Can I walk you through the house?

01:27:08.820 Do you mean my house?

01:27:10.200 The unfinished house?

01:27:11.420 It'll be finished in six weeks, you know.

01:27:13.000 Six weeks?

01:27:13.580 No.

01:27:13.720 Oh, gosh.

01:27:14.140 That's terrible.

01:27:14.580 I thought it was only two.

01:27:15.360 Two weeks.

01:27:16.100 Okay, good.

01:27:16.720 But I'm...

01:27:18.280 I know.

01:27:19.140 Your house is never going to be finished.

01:27:20.300 Never going to be finished.

01:27:20.860 Anyway, go ahead.

01:27:21.680 Not that house.

01:27:23.080 Now, Glenn.

01:27:23.680 Yes.

01:27:23.980 We have a situation where, let me give you the good news.

01:27:25.700 Okay.

01:27:26.560 For example, prediction markets.

01:27:28.060 Prediction.

01:27:28.340 Say the house should go Republican, 95% chance.

01:27:32.000 95% chance.

01:27:33.360 That's pretty good.

01:27:34.340 That's really good.

01:27:35.400 Really good.

01:27:35.740 Although, I do remember those prediction markets being very, very confident in things like

01:27:41.160 Cary Lake.

01:27:42.100 They were pretty confident.

01:27:43.040 Now they are not confident in Cary Lake.

01:27:44.640 They're not.

01:27:45.080 Now they're not.

01:27:45.880 No.

01:27:46.120 It's changed now.

01:27:46.860 In fact, now there's a 94% chance that Cary Lake will lose, according to the prediction

01:27:50.560 markets.

01:27:51.060 Huh.

01:27:51.620 Wonder what happened there.

01:27:52.560 Now, that's different than it was...

01:27:54.640 She probably had a 60% or 70% chance in mid to late last week.

01:27:58.720 I trust the prediction markets.

01:28:00.760 Right.

01:28:01.020 They could change, right?

01:28:01.880 But that's what they think.

01:28:04.140 They're confident.

01:28:05.000 Yeah.

01:28:05.100 Almost everybody will tell you, and you've heard this nonstop, even in the mainstream

01:28:09.160 media, the Republicans will likely win the House.

01:28:11.220 Yeah.

01:28:11.480 But can I be a little pessimistic here and walk you through what we have?

01:28:14.840 Is it pessimism or is it reality?

01:28:18.180 I think it's reality.

01:28:20.260 I think it's reality.

01:28:22.300 But it's not all bad news.

01:28:24.880 But just how confident do you feel in this scenario that I'm about to walk you through?

01:28:30.320 Okay.

01:28:30.540 I'm guessing zero.

01:28:32.060 Okay.

01:28:32.760 But let me hear it.

01:28:34.540 I went through all the outstanding races.

01:28:37.060 Okay.

01:28:38.000 Looked at them.

01:28:38.740 And I have, I don't know, what I tend to find is a somewhat disturbing situation.

01:28:45.560 Okay.

01:28:46.340 So I ranked all of the races in the best chance for Republicans to win.

01:28:51.060 Yeah.

01:28:51.420 Yeah.

01:28:51.660 Okay.

01:28:52.400 So 212 are pretty much in the bag.

01:28:55.960 212.

01:28:56.780 212.

01:28:57.280 Got to get to 218, though.

01:28:58.460 Wow.

01:28:59.020 218.

01:28:59.580 That's a long way from...

01:29:00.480 That's easy.

01:29:01.180 Oh.

01:29:01.440 There's a lot of races.

01:29:02.520 There's a couple dozen races still out there.

01:29:04.300 I mean, you know, gosh.

01:29:05.600 We really have to be over 220 to even...

01:29:09.240 Because you know there's a lot of weasels in there. 1.00

01:29:12.280 Yes.

01:29:12.740 Yeah.

01:29:13.100 For sure.

01:29:13.700 But 218 is control.

01:29:15.140 And at this point...

01:29:16.480 I'll take control.

01:29:16.960 I will take 218 control.

01:29:18.860 Yes.

01:29:18.960 I will too.

01:29:19.740 All right.

01:29:20.480 So I've ranked them in the old school grading system from, you know, your old high school

01:29:25.640 days.

01:29:25.920 A, B, C, D, F.

01:29:26.780 Ooh.

01:29:27.320 Okay.

01:29:27.880 Wow.

01:29:28.440 That's harsh.

01:29:29.900 Now, none of these, I would say, are completely decided.

01:29:32.960 But I came up with three A's.

01:29:35.100 Three A's.

01:29:35.860 Three.

01:29:36.320 Three.

01:29:36.860 So...

01:29:37.580 And that means really high, according to the grading scale.

01:29:42.800 These are the best of the best.

01:29:44.360 Yes.

01:29:44.380 Not sure things.

01:29:45.260 Let me give you an example of a race that I put as an A.

01:29:48.140 Okay.

01:29:48.520 Lauren Boebert's race in Colorado.

01:29:50.380 Oh, that's an A.

01:29:51.500 That's an A.

01:29:52.000 Now, as of right now, she leads by 0.4% with 99% of the vote in.

01:29:58.080 How many votes is she away? 1.00

01:30:00.120 Actually, not percentage, but actual votes.

01:30:01.860 Not percentage.

01:30:02.680 That's a good question.

01:30:03.880 If you give me one moment, Glenn, of course, I can pull that up for you, and I'm completely

01:30:07.800 prepared to give you any detail that's additional to what I'm giving you at any time.

01:30:12.800 And that's what's important about this particular coverage.

01:30:15.300 I can always tell you, in a moment's notice, and people need to understand this, it's very,

01:30:21.860 very clear.

01:30:22.460 I don't think we understand.

01:30:22.920 We're just looking for the number of votes that...

01:30:25.400 Number of votes in that race?

01:30:27.260 Yeah, in that race.

01:30:28.040 Yeah, I've got it at 1,122.

01:30:32.160 Thank you.

01:30:32.540 Okay, 1,000 votes away.

01:30:34.940 Now, but they're 99% in.

01:30:37.680 99% in, and you'd think, so basically what we're talking about there would, the outstanding

01:30:43.900 vote couldn't overturn it, only if there was like a recount or something else.

01:30:47.140 Okay, so all right, I feel good.

01:30:49.300 I feel good about that race.

01:30:50.680 I feel good about that race.

01:30:51.380 That's the type of A race I'm talking about. 1.00

01:30:53.580 We have three of those.

01:30:54.940 That gets Republicans to 2,15.

01:30:56.820 Wait, we have three of those?

01:30:58.420 Three A races.

01:30:59.740 That are that good?

01:31:01.040 I think so.

01:31:01.840 There's another race in New York, a 0.4... 1.00

01:31:03.980 Oh, a 0.4...

01:31:04.580 In New York?

01:31:05.640 Yeah.

01:31:06.380 Okay.

01:31:07.200 0.4% lead.

01:31:07.980 That's not Colorado.

01:31:09.260 That's New York.

01:31:10.500 Okay.

01:31:12.000 Yeah, I mean, when you say it that way...

01:31:14.540 Yeah.

01:31:14.860 You know, it doesn't sound as good, you know, but...

01:31:17.860 Right.

01:31:17.900 Where's the third one?

01:31:19.740 Third one?

01:31:20.620 Uh-oh.

01:31:22.720 That one's in California.

01:31:24.360 California.

01:31:25.920 That one is not even New York.

01:31:29.380 That's California.

01:31:31.120 All you have to do is depend on the fine people in New York and California.

01:31:34.920 Again, these are close races.

01:31:36.880 Okay.

01:31:37.220 But I'm going to go ahead and just give us those three just for the optimistic take here

01:31:43.840 on the house.

01:31:44.420 And that gives us...

01:31:45.280 Gets us to...

01:31:46.600 2,15.

01:31:47.260 2,15.

01:31:48.740 Now, seeming even more cavernous in between 2,15 and 2,18 than it did just a few minutes

01:31:56.300 ago.

01:31:56.560 It seemed really easy.

01:31:57.580 Seemed pretty easy.

01:31:58.980 Sure.

01:31:59.220 With a couple dozen races out there.

01:32:00.680 Right.

01:32:01.120 Why can't we get...

01:32:02.200 All we need is six.

01:32:03.600 Right.

01:32:03.960 Right.

01:32:04.140 But now, of the A's, I only have three.

01:32:06.740 Three.

01:32:07.180 So now we're at 2,15.

01:32:08.080 Okay.

01:32:08.500 Now, you'd say what number...

01:32:09.640 But B is still passing.

01:32:10.520 Right.

01:32:10.740 It's still a good grade.

01:32:11.240 It's still a good grade.

01:32:12.580 How many races would you like to see in the B column to make yourself comfortable that

01:32:17.920 the Republicans...

01:32:18.560 27.

01:32:19.380 27.

01:32:19.960 That's a good number.

01:32:20.560 27, yeah.

01:32:21.060 That's how I would feel, too, because I always feel these are going to go against us.

01:32:24.340 How many do we have?

01:32:25.460 Two.

01:32:25.920 Two.

01:32:26.720 Two races that are B's. 1.00

01:32:28.120 Two races that are B's. 1.00

01:32:28.800 Just two.

01:32:30.280 That would take us to 217.

01:32:34.120 Yes.

01:32:34.460 And you're going to be excited that here in our B's, we have another California.

01:32:39.380 Oh, good.

01:32:40.140 And you're going to be super confident because it's Arizona is the other one.

01:32:45.080 Oh, I hope it's Maricopa County.

01:32:47.260 That's a great question.

01:32:48.680 Because that one's done so well.

01:32:51.420 Yes.

01:32:51.960 Yeah.

01:32:52.220 Now, if we assume we have both of the A's and the B's, that gets us to not 218, which

01:33:03.040 is what you need, but 217.

01:33:06.400 217.

01:33:07.040 Which is one less than what you need.

01:33:09.120 So we don't have control there.

01:33:11.040 We don't have control at 217.

01:33:13.060 Now, may I ask, how much worse is a B from an A?

01:33:18.840 Is it like 1,100 votes?

01:33:22.780 Okay.

01:33:23.260 Or it should be 900 votes.

01:33:26.160 One race in Arizona.

01:33:28.380 It's a 0.2% lead with 94% of the vote in.

01:33:34.220 That's a B.

01:33:35.540 A B, boys and girls.

01:33:37.440 I'm not being unfair with these rankings.

01:33:39.600 That's a B.

01:33:40.480 And the only reason I say it's a B is because it was expected to be a pretty easy, not an

01:33:46.360 easy win, but it's a purplish district, but it was projected to be a Republican-leaning

01:33:53.600 district this time.

01:33:54.920 Now, of course, we've seen that before.

01:33:56.820 In what state?

01:33:58.840 In Arizona.

01:33:59.540 In Arizona.

01:34:00.400 Good.

01:34:00.760 Good.

01:34:01.060 Okay.

01:34:01.560 All right.

01:34:01.600 And then we have a race in California where there is a six-point lead currently for the

01:34:07.140 Republican.

01:34:07.640 However, only 52% of the vote in.

01:34:10.080 That's going to shrink as we get closer.

01:34:12.240 That's a B.

01:34:13.040 That's a B.

01:34:13.480 But that one was leaning Republican anyway.

01:34:16.360 They've got the lead.

01:34:17.760 I'm going to get that a B.

01:34:19.080 All right.

01:34:19.200 That gets you to 217.

01:34:20.800 Now, you go into the Cs.

01:34:22.500 Uh-huh.

01:34:23.220 Now.

01:34:24.020 You just need one of these.

01:34:25.220 You just need one of them.

01:34:26.220 And you'd like how many to be there to just get one out of them?

01:34:30.200 I'd like, this is a C.

01:34:32.680 It's a C.

01:34:33.500 This is a C.

01:34:34.020 So, again, you're in like toss-up area.

01:34:36.400 So, I would like maybe I'm going to shoot low.

01:34:41.840 Five?

01:34:42.200 Five.

01:34:42.520 That's a nice guess.

01:34:44.340 Unfortunately, you lose.

01:34:46.080 I lose.

01:34:47.340 Because I only have three.

01:34:48.700 You only have three Cs.

01:34:50.560 Now, if you're optimistic and you take those A's and B's and you're like, okay, we can pick

01:34:54.720 these off.

01:34:55.140 That's 217.

01:34:55.780 You've got one of these three.

01:34:57.080 We still don't have the house.

01:34:59.500 This kid's is going well.

01:35:01.740 Going well.

01:35:02.500 I think Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy, I think they've done their job.

01:35:08.480 I think they've done their job.

01:35:09.880 They should be rewarded with more leadership positions.

01:35:12.120 They should be rewarded with new positions.

01:35:16.260 Now, here we have two California races and an Arizona in the seas.

01:35:21.300 Okay.

01:35:21.440 We have what?

01:35:22.160 Two California races.

01:35:23.620 And please tell me it's like in the farming area of California.

01:35:29.840 Some of them are.

01:35:30.680 There's some.

01:35:31.120 Again, you know, I know California we make fun of.

01:35:33.720 There are races that a lot of Republicans do win in California.

01:35:36.620 Yeah.

01:35:36.820 Some of them they're even favored in, but like, but like, for example, this one, which

01:35:41.600 is a, a, a toss up, a toss up race.

01:35:45.580 I would say right now, if you look at the projections, was a Biden plus six district.

01:35:52.140 Okay.

01:35:52.680 Okay.

01:35:52.880 So one that Biden won.

01:35:54.520 All right.

01:35:54.960 Now in this environment, which is not necessarily, I mean, it's only slightly better for Republicans

01:36:00.460 maybe, right.

01:36:01.880 We need the Republican to win.

01:36:03.720 And of course we still have 30% of the vote to count.

01:36:05.760 So we don't know at this point.

01:36:07.140 Oh, 30.

01:36:08.200 Then you get into the Ds.

01:36:11.040 Wait, that was it?

01:36:13.080 That was it.

01:36:13.720 There's three Cs.

01:36:15.100 Uh-huh.

01:36:15.580 You've got some, I mean, you've got, I think there's, there's one that's in Arizona where

01:36:21.240 the Republican leads by 0.6% with 89% of the vote in, which I, my A's I put, if you're

01:36:29.580 over 95% in and you're winning, you know, I put that as an A, this one's at 89% in winning.

01:36:36.120 So a chance, certainly a chance.

01:36:38.100 Uh-huh.

01:36:38.720 Um, and it was a, uh, likely Republican district going in.

01:36:42.920 So you'd think maybe there's a chance that some of the, some of the votes will be, again,

01:36:47.360 you see me, I'm reaching for some of these, but that's, again, it's close.

01:36:51.660 0.6% lead.

01:36:53.320 But if we won all of the Cs.

01:36:56.520 Cs, right.

01:36:57.280 That would give you two to 20.

01:37:00.100 Which, again, isn't great.

01:37:02.760 In fact, a lot of these, uh, these mainstream people looking at this are like, oh, well,

01:37:07.260 we, we project 221 for Republicans, plus or minus four.

01:37:12.560 Well, that's.

01:37:13.380 That's a big.

01:37:14.080 That's a big plus or minus.

01:37:15.800 Yes.

01:37:16.140 Yeah.

01:37:16.420 Because 225 at this point would be like, wow, that's fantastic.

01:37:20.040 Right.

01:37:20.700 217, bad.

01:37:21.580 Bad.

01:37:22.060 Bad.

01:37:22.540 Bad.

01:37:23.100 Bad.

01:37:23.660 Bad.

01:37:23.860 Yeah.

01:37:24.280 Okay.

01:37:24.580 Then you got three Ds.

01:37:26.460 Mm-hmm.

01:37:27.100 And then I have, all the rest of them are Fs.

01:37:29.760 Okay.

01:37:30.540 They're not going to win.

01:37:31.440 They're not going to win.

01:37:32.100 No.

01:37:32.340 Well, again, they're all in California, mostly, at least all in California.

01:37:36.080 And they're all districts that lean Democrat.

01:37:39.820 And, you know, the Democrat even have the lead in a bunch of them.

01:37:42.840 May I just ask a quick question?

01:37:44.760 Yes.

01:37:45.040 Why is it that it just seems to be in the sketchy states where they can't really count

01:37:55.020 everything?

01:37:56.840 That might be why we picture them as sketchy.

01:37:59.460 Right.

01:37:59.900 It might be.

01:38:00.720 It might be.

01:38:01.520 Yeah.

01:38:01.920 It might be.

01:38:02.360 It might be something that, in theory, as a lawmaker in one of these states, you'd be

01:38:06.900 incentivized to correct your terrible practices because no one believes you're voting anymore.

01:38:12.200 Or you might not be incentivized.

01:38:14.900 Right.

01:38:15.340 You know, if you're on the winning side.

01:38:17.260 Yeah.

01:38:17.320 Exactly.

01:38:18.380 So, again, you can see why, right, you would say, hey, Republicans are favored in this race.

01:38:25.740 And I would say you're probably maybe right.

01:38:30.680 But, like, 95% confidence?

01:38:34.780 Do you have 95% confidence in that scenario I just mapped out for you?

01:38:38.800 I mean, I think they're going to.

01:38:39.380 Wait, wait, wait, wait.

01:38:40.280 Are Republicans involved?

01:38:42.500 They are.

01:38:42.940 No, I don't have any confidence in it, then.

01:38:45.340 You know, you may remember, Glenn, us saying over and over again, Republicans should win

01:38:50.280 this election unless they screw it up.

01:38:53.380 Which.

01:38:53.940 Which.

01:38:54.400 They always do.

01:38:55.880 Which they always do, don't they?

01:38:56.700 I believe was the rest of that prediction.

01:38:59.360 They're very good at that.

01:39:01.420 You know, you've got a couple ranked choice voting.

01:39:03.560 Now, who would you say?

01:39:04.520 I'm going to give you time.

01:39:05.460 I'm going to give you time.

01:39:06.200 Who would you say is most responsible for that loss?

01:39:13.040 Now, don't answer right away.

01:39:15.360 I want you to think, is there anyone that might be responsible that maybe we should reassign?

01:39:23.940 And I don't mean reassign their sex.

01:39:27.060 I mean, reassign them to, I don't know, basement duty instead of running the show.

01:39:34.780 I just think about it.

01:39:36.460 I'll give you a minute.

01:39:37.900 It's up to you and me to make a difference, to help our country become free again.

01:39:42.680 It starts with us and our children.

01:39:45.540 Look what's going on in our country today.

01:39:47.640 There is a bigger need than ever before for young people to rise up and say no to big government.

01:39:53.320 But that's not happening.

01:39:54.220 Did you see the, did you see the, it wasn't ASU.

01:39:59.280 Maybe it was ASU.

01:40:01.680 That had the voter polls, 94% towards the Democrats.

01:40:07.560 Yeah, I did see that.

01:40:08.500 Yeah, it was good.

01:40:09.240 Good, good.

01:40:09.820 It was good.

01:40:10.200 No, no, seriously.

01:40:10.880 And luckily, all those parents paid for the education.

01:40:15.520 Yeah, so that's good.

01:40:16.920 Anyway, here's what you need to do.

01:41:02.320 10 seconds, station ID.

01:41:09.580 Now, just...

01:41:11.320 Who do you think is responsible for this?

01:41:24.580 Based on your lead-in.

01:41:26.420 Yes.

01:41:26.900 I believe.

01:41:27.860 No, no, don't base it on my lead-in.

01:41:29.380 No, I'm trying to analyze this a little bit.

01:41:31.060 I believe.

01:41:31.720 I'm talking it through like I'm on a game show.

01:41:33.360 Okay, okay.

01:41:34.020 Based on your question.

01:41:35.360 Based on my question, yes.

01:41:36.460 Do we have the game show music?

01:41:38.080 Yes.

01:41:38.220 Based on your question, I think what you want me to say...

01:41:45.280 No, this is not high school.

01:41:48.540 This is not high school.

01:41:49.440 I'm not a progressive teacher.

01:41:50.900 No, but I think you have an opinion on this.

01:41:52.920 Yes, I do.

01:41:53.420 And you would say, I guess I'll generalize this, Republican leadership.

01:41:58.200 Mitch McConnell!

01:41:59.520 But Mitch McConnell doesn't have anything to do with the House.

01:42:01.980 That's why I'm...

01:42:02.920 No, Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy.

01:42:05.600 Both of them.

01:42:06.560 Both of them should go.

01:42:08.160 Yeah.

01:42:08.320 Both of them should go.

01:42:09.880 These guys are the same guys that were in those positions under Donald Trump.

01:42:15.860 You know, when they got rid of Obama...

01:42:17.980 They didn't...

01:42:19.500 Glenn, that didn't get rid of...

01:42:20.320 Oh, they didn't get rid of that.

01:42:21.580 Did they?

01:42:22.660 Wow.

01:42:23.300 Well, these guys, they've done an awful lot.

01:42:26.480 And Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy have got to go.

01:42:30.940 Even if they're a minority.

01:42:33.320 Maybe especially since they're the minority leaders. 1.00

01:42:37.960 I mean, after a poor showing, usually what you see are repercussions for the people who

01:42:42.940 led the charge to the poor showing.

01:42:45.400 Yes.

01:42:45.660 That's usually how things work in the world.

01:42:47.900 Yes.

01:42:48.220 But not here.

01:42:49.260 You're a football coach.

01:42:51.900 Your team is three and nine.

01:42:54.120 And you're not going to make the playoffs.

01:42:55.540 And you have a big payroll.

01:42:58.100 Usually, you get fired.

01:43:00.520 Right.

01:43:01.060 That's usually what happens.

01:43:02.220 Right.

01:43:03.120 But that doesn't seem to be the way that these things go in Washington.

01:43:07.920 Okay.

01:43:08.240 Here are the people that can make Mitch McConnell a thing of the past.

01:43:13.420 Mitt Romney.

01:43:14.140 Call his office.

01:43:15.600 No, Mitt Romney?

01:43:16.740 Is Mitt Romney really going to do a thing about Mitt?

01:43:19.320 He loves him.

01:43:19.900 He's responsible for the red wave. 0.91

01:43:21.580 No, this is...

01:43:22.860 I know.

01:43:23.340 But this is what he should know.

01:43:24.580 He should know that I'm going to remember what you said about Mitch McConnell being responsible.

01:43:35.000 And since you were wrong about that, I'm sure you're going to evict him.

01:43:41.020 And if not, don't worry about it, because we have a very long memory.

01:43:44.560 And next election, you are out.

01:43:47.640 Remember, it's only two years.

01:43:49.300 Deb Fischer from Nebraska.

01:43:54.680 Roger Wicker from Mississippi.

01:43:57.760 Rick Scott, Florida.

01:43:59.460 Ted Cruz, Texas.

01:44:01.420 Mike Braun from Indianapolis, from Indiana.

01:44:05.360 Josh Hawley from Missouri.

01:44:07.560 John Barrasso from Wyoming.

01:44:09.740 Marsha Blackburn.

01:44:10.840 All of these people need to be reminded that when you lose and you have put your money into an Alaska race that was going to go to the Republican no matter what, and you double down there.

01:44:32.160 It's really egregious.

01:44:33.180 It's really egregious.

01:44:34.480 He cut money from Arizona.

01:44:37.420 Could have won.

01:44:38.860 New Hampshire.

01:44:40.240 Could have won.

01:44:41.760 Took the money from there.

01:44:42.580 Put it into a race where two Republicans were going against each other.

01:44:45.440 Because he didn't.

01:44:46.280 Why?

01:44:46.680 Because he wanted to rescue Lisa Murkowski.

01:44:48.980 And why did he want to do that?

01:44:50.200 Because the candidate running against Lisa Murkowski said she will not vote for Mitch McConnell as leadership.

01:45:00.580 All of these senators, all of these senators know what their constituents are saying about Mitch McConnell.

01:45:06.960 But Mitch McConnell has a very heavy hammer.

01:45:11.160 And he is trying to rush this thing through.

01:45:14.280 You've got to call them today.

01:45:16.640 The government switchboard at the Capitol is 202-224-3121.

01:45:23.360 Get on the phone, Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy.

01:45:28.020 Let's start first with the Senate.

01:45:30.560 Because they're going to be meeting tomorrow and then, I guess, voting on Wednesday.

01:45:35.560 We have a very short time period.

01:45:37.640 Mitch McConnell must not be the majority leader.

01:45:43.080 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:45:46.640 I don't recommend things to you that I don't believe in.

01:45:52.840 When I tell you I believe in relief factor, it's not because, you know, I've seen it work.

01:45:58.400 It has worked with me.

01:46:01.560 In fact, I've been feeling so good lately that I've stopped taking it recently.

01:46:06.540 And that's why my hands are wrapped.

01:46:08.380 It is cold in Texas.

01:46:12.300 And that always fires everything off.

01:46:14.580 And I haven't been taking my relief factor.

01:46:17.260 Shame on you.

01:46:18.840 Three-week quick start is 1995.

01:46:21.480 It's a trial pack.

01:46:22.580 Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered relief factor.

01:46:25.460 And about 70% of them go on to order more.

01:46:27.800 Go to relieffactor.com or call 800-4-RELIEF.

01:46:33.100 800, the number 4-RELIEF.

01:46:35.500 Get the 1995 three-week quick start.

01:46:38.680 Again, relieffactor.com or call 800, the number 4-RELIEF.

01:46:44.120 Relief Factor.

01:46:45.340 Feel the difference.

01:46:46.720 You can save $30 on your Blaze TV subscription for a limited time if you go to blazetv.com slash Glenn and use the promo code STANDUP.

01:47:16.720 Hey, welcome everybody to the program.

01:47:23.000 I think we need to reset, Stu.

01:47:25.460 I think we need to come up with a, I don't know.

01:47:31.660 Something positive?

01:47:32.560 A new way to do this show.

01:47:35.020 Yeah.

01:47:35.500 Yeah.

01:47:35.960 Because, I mean, it is a little depressing looking at some of the stuff.

01:47:38.640 Yeah, and tomorrow it's got to stop.

01:47:41.140 Tomorrow.

01:47:41.860 Tomorrow.

01:47:42.740 It has to stop.

01:47:43.480 Well, how about stopping it now?

01:47:44.720 Well, one thing we could do is have a country that's not a raging trash fire.

01:47:49.980 That's one thing we could do.

01:47:51.560 Where would we go for that?

01:47:52.600 Oh, I don't know how we'd get that.

01:47:53.960 But I'm just saying, if that existed, we could talk about other things.

01:47:56.820 Yeah, I don't see one.

01:47:58.320 I don't see any country that's not just a burning trash fire.

01:48:01.660 Nothing on the horizon?

01:48:02.760 Nope.

01:48:03.620 I mean, St. Kitts, Bermuda, they all seem like they're doing okay.

01:48:08.980 Maybe the whole thing is just being surrounded by water.

01:48:11.140 Until they're invaded.

01:48:13.060 Well, yeah, when they're invaded.

01:48:14.080 But, you know, that probably won't happen.

01:48:17.700 I think I'd rather be trapped on Gilligan's Island.

01:48:20.340 Because at least, well, no, I just remember the quicksand.

01:48:23.700 I was going to say, at least it made sense.

01:48:26.260 You know what I mean?

01:48:27.200 Right.

01:48:27.800 You knew who everybody was.

01:48:31.560 That's true.

01:48:32.500 You didn't know that.

01:48:33.260 I don't know that it made sense.

01:48:34.380 But, yes, you did know that.

01:48:35.400 Would you, do you think Gilligan's Island makes less sense than today's America?

01:48:44.180 No.

01:48:44.580 No, definitely.

01:48:45.140 It was more sensible than that, obviously.

01:48:46.640 That's not an unfair comparison, though.

01:48:49.920 There's some good news.

01:48:50.920 There are good things on the horizon.

01:48:52.500 All right.

01:48:52.680 You know, we are three days away from fundamentally getting a sequel to a Christmas story.

01:49:01.080 Shut up. 0.95

01:49:01.800 Isn't that cool?

01:49:02.460 Peter Billingsley's in it.

01:49:04.100 Ralphie from back in the day.

01:49:05.920 Who's done a lot more since Ralphie, but he also just gets called Ralphie anyway.

01:49:09.020 I, uh, that's, uh, one of my bigger regrets, uh, in, uh, in celebrity encounters.

01:49:16.380 Really?

01:49:17.040 Yeah.

01:49:17.180 What do you mean?

01:49:18.480 Well, remember in the days when we were really, really, really, really busy?

01:49:23.880 Yes.

01:49:24.520 Okay.

01:49:24.820 I do.

01:49:25.460 Where I didn't really have time to even think, you know, and, uh, people would make appointments

01:49:33.240 for me and stuff and then brief me on the way into the room.

01:49:37.320 Right.

01:49:37.720 Yes.

01:49:38.200 Yeah.

01:49:38.360 Yeah.

01:49:39.020 Uh, and, uh, Peter Billingsley was, uh, was in my office one day and, uh, and I said,

01:49:47.180 who the hell is Peter Billingsley?

01:49:48.520 And they said, Ralphie from a Christmas story.

01:49:52.620 And I said, why is Ralphie from a Christmas story in my office?

01:49:58.200 And we're walking towards my office.

01:50:01.240 And they said, he's really fascinating.

01:50:03.880 He really wants to meet you.

01:50:05.800 Door open.

01:50:06.980 I walk in.

01:50:07.940 Hey, Peter.

01:50:11.320 Okay.

01:50:11.760 I know nothing about his life.

01:50:14.200 Or what you're doing in the meeting.

01:50:15.160 Or what I'm even doing in the meeting.

01:50:16.660 Right.

01:50:16.860 I'm just there by myself with Peter Billingsley.

01:50:20.460 And, uh, and he looks like a grownup Ralphie.

01:50:24.500 Which, which people used to say about you.

01:50:26.600 Yes.

01:50:27.120 People used to say you looked like a grownup Ralphie.

01:50:29.540 Right.

01:50:29.760 I don't know if they still say that.

01:50:31.080 No, they don't.

01:50:31.680 Okay.

01:50:31.800 No, they don't.

01:50:32.480 So, uh, so Peter was there and I said, Hey, Peter, you know, feeling kind of bad for him.

01:50:39.720 Right.

01:50:40.120 You're cause you're thinking this guy worked as Ralphie and that was it.

01:50:43.540 That was it.

01:50:44.160 Now he's, you know, I don't know, flipping pancakes at the waffle house.

01:50:47.520 Sure.

01:50:47.820 And, uh, and I said, so what have you, you know, what, what do you, what do you, what

01:50:53.840 do you, what do you, what have you been doing lately?

01:50:58.040 And he just, he said, uh, well, we just, uh, finished Iron Man.

01:51:03.720 And I was like, ah, I've got to reevaluate everything I was going to say to you.

01:51:10.380 He was the executive producer of Iron Man.

01:51:12.780 Of Iron Man.

01:51:13.360 Yeah.

01:51:13.740 Yeah.

01:51:13.940 So now he's got a new movie out.

01:51:15.760 He's got a new movie out.

01:51:16.880 Yes, he does.

01:51:17.660 And, uh, and, and he's playing Ralphie.

01:51:20.800 Yes.

01:51:21.180 He's decided to go, which is, I think I, as a person who absolutely loves that movie and

01:51:25.480 I know that's not necessarily universal, but it is a loved Christmas classic.

01:51:29.500 I like it.

01:51:30.100 Yeah.

01:51:30.400 Yeah.

01:51:30.760 Uh, Christmas Story, which they've done a bunch of stuff with on that.

01:51:33.900 They didn't have, didn't they have a Broadway show for a while?

01:51:35.900 And it was really good.

01:51:37.040 Oh, you saw it?

01:51:37.360 Oh, I saw it.

01:51:38.040 Oh, really?

01:51:38.300 I went with Peter.

01:51:39.780 Of course.

01:51:40.700 Of course you did.

01:51:41.600 Sure.

01:51:43.720 I went to, I went to a Christmas Story musical with Ralphie.

01:51:47.700 Oh, God.

01:51:48.620 It's just, your life is too good.

01:51:50.460 It's better than you deserve.

01:51:51.960 That's what I will say.

01:51:53.260 It really is.

01:51:53.960 It really is.

01:51:54.480 It really is.

01:51:55.160 Um, but he is, they're, they're actually doing a sequel to it with Ralphie grown up.

01:52:01.840 Yeah.

01:52:02.320 Hosting his own Christmas.

01:52:03.400 It looks fantastic.

01:52:04.720 It looks really cool.

01:52:05.580 And I think it's the same mom.

01:52:07.720 Yeah, I think you're right.

01:52:08.820 I think it's the same mom.

01:52:10.120 Um, and it's coming out, uh, this week on HBO Max, I believe.

01:52:13.820 I don't know if it's in the theaters as well, but, uh, in HBO Max, which I'm, I don't know.

01:52:17.340 I'm excited about it.

01:52:18.400 I did not see Yellowstone last night, which is something that may have improved my mood

01:52:24.220 a little bit.

01:52:25.280 Really?

01:52:25.840 Well, I thought you loved Yellowstone.

01:52:26.960 I do.

01:52:27.520 I just didn't see it.

01:52:28.740 Oh, okay.

01:52:29.180 I didn't see it.

01:52:29.720 So you're, you're disappointed.

01:52:30.980 Are you, let me ask you this.

01:52:32.020 I'm going to watch it tonight.

01:52:32.880 Are you the type of person, cause I am this type of person, that if I'm watching a series

01:52:36.900 and a big episode airs and I don't see it, I literally will not go anywhere near social

01:52:43.440 media until I've seen it.

01:52:45.020 Yes.

01:52:45.960 I can't, cause you go onto Twitter and just people are like, Hey, that was great on Yellowstone

01:52:50.380 when the alien came down and killed Kevin Costner and you're like, Holy crap.

01:52:55.020 Really?

01:52:56.000 Yeah.

01:52:56.340 Good thing they saved it for the very end though.

01:53:00.540 You're like, no.

01:53:02.640 And you get, you can't even, there's no way to filter it out.

01:53:05.760 Like I want a, this is, this is a website I've been dreaming up for a while.

01:53:10.800 You tell me if this is a good idea.

01:53:11.980 I want a spoiler free zone, right?

01:53:14.760 Where I can go and read, especially, especially with these, these things that these series

01:53:20.700 that have like five years of, of episodes out and you're just picking them up.

01:53:25.000 Cause I do that all the time.

01:53:25.900 I really refuse to commit to a series at this point, unless there's five years of it, because

01:53:30.900 I'm kind of like that.

01:53:32.620 Give me five, show me you can stay on the air for five years.

01:53:35.260 Then I'll start investing my time.

01:53:36.680 Cause there's nothing worse than having some, I skip everything that says one season, 2016.

01:53:43.440 Right.

01:53:43.820 You're like, go on.

01:53:44.560 Yeah.

01:53:44.760 I'm not even going to try it.

01:53:45.640 No way.

01:53:45.740 It might be great, but I'm going to be frustrated cause it's going to just stop.

01:53:49.620 Yeah.

01:53:50.160 Right.

01:53:50.340 Yeah.

01:53:50.920 So unless you get five seasons, I don't even go in, but let's say I'm on season two, episode

01:53:55.020 three and some amazing thing happens.

01:53:56.660 I can't cert, I can't look, look at any content about the show because they're going to give

01:54:03.100 me what happened in season four and season five and season three.

01:54:06.440 So I can't know any of it.

01:54:07.900 So I can't, I don't get the full experience of watching the show because a big part of that

01:54:12.160 now is you're following along.

01:54:14.300 People are speculating as to what comes next.

01:54:16.620 People are trying to figure it out.

01:54:17.960 Oh my gosh, what happened to this character?

01:54:19.220 You can't do that in that sort of community vibe because you'll get it all.

01:54:23.580 So I want a, I want a site that has, it's like a spoiler free zone.

01:54:27.940 I say I'm on season two, episode three and I can read all the articles from that time.

01:54:32.400 Yeah.

01:54:32.620 I like that.

01:54:33.220 Yeah.

01:54:33.380 I like that.

01:54:33.900 So somebody do that and then cut me in on the profits cause I don't want to do it.

01:54:38.600 Well, that sounds like a binding contract.

01:54:40.800 Right.

01:54:41.100 Yes.

01:54:41.400 Anybody out there who's doing it, that's you.

01:54:44.120 Wow.

01:54:44.480 You are legally bound now to cut him in.

01:54:47.580 People don't realize this, Glenn.

01:54:49.000 I think you'll back me up on this.

01:54:49.920 Just anything said on the radio is a binding contract to anyone who has the same idea and

01:54:55.020 might do it better.

01:54:55.960 Right.

01:54:57.060 So I went to see, um, George Clooney.

01:55:01.220 Now see if this, you think this is another Peter Billingsley story.

01:55:04.700 Is it where you're hanging out with George Clooney?

01:55:06.180 You didn't know who he was?

01:55:07.200 No.

01:55:07.600 I knew who he was.

01:55:08.660 Okay, good.

01:55:09.160 So I went to see George Clooney and Julia Roberts in a movie, Ticket to Paradise.

01:55:15.860 Okay.

01:55:16.100 So he didn't actually, did you watch it with George Clooney and Julia Roberts?

01:55:19.480 I did not.

01:55:20.200 No, no, uh, no, uh, here's the, uh, here's the thing.

01:55:25.920 That one was not a decision that I made per se.

01:55:30.560 Right.

01:55:31.120 Right.

01:55:31.500 Yeah.

01:55:32.040 So I go and I realize before the movie starts, there's no one under 50 in that room.

01:55:43.140 Okay.

01:55:43.580 There's no, but there's no youngins going to see that one, you know?

01:55:49.240 Wow.

01:55:49.400 Those are two big stars.

01:55:52.420 Yeah.

01:55:52.900 Now it's been out for a while.

01:55:54.680 Okay.

01:55:54.920 I think, um, however, I realized.

01:55:59.080 I, I just fell into the driving Miss Daisy category.

01:56:06.900 You know, nobody, nobody who was young went to see that or steel magnolias or one of those.

01:56:11.860 There is the, yeah, there's a genre there.

01:56:13.260 They're like, Oh, I remember when they were young in their forties and they were making

01:56:18.840 movies.

01:56:19.600 They were so great.

01:56:21.180 And then you, you know, then you're seeing all these people that you grew up with and

01:56:25.420 you're like, Oh boy, they're sure aging well, aren't they?

01:56:30.300 You know, and they have to stop shooting about four 30 in the afternoon for these people.

01:56:35.160 I realized that's what that movie is.

01:56:37.540 That's, that's like a, yeah.

01:56:39.960 That's like, I remember these people.

01:56:42.120 Yeah.

01:56:42.540 Yeah.

01:56:43.000 They were the stars of my day where they were so great in oceans 11.

01:56:50.320 Right.

01:56:50.720 Back in the day and they're still together.

01:56:54.020 It's been a while, Glenn, since, since oceans 11.

01:56:56.900 Don't tell me how long has it been.

01:56:59.240 That movie came out the same year as, uh, the September 11th attacks came out.

01:57:04.120 September, 2001.

01:57:06.140 Oceans 11.

01:57:07.980 That's a 21 years old.

01:57:09.740 Wow.

01:57:10.080 When's the last time George Clooney was in a movie you've seen or made any of any note?

01:57:19.820 So I saw on an airplane once something he was in where I don't remember.

01:57:30.780 He wasn't happy in his job and he was, I don't remember.

01:57:35.220 I can't tell you the last time I saw a George Clooney movie.

01:57:39.140 Isn't that weird though?

01:57:39.800 Yeah.

01:57:39.960 Because I still think of him as the biggest, you know, one of the biggest stars out there.

01:57:43.240 Give, give, give me some of the.

01:57:44.540 I would say, so you've got Ticket to Paradise, which of course.

01:57:47.640 I just saw it.

01:57:48.600 You just saw that.

01:57:48.940 It was, it was actually good.

01:57:50.000 It was actually really good.

01:57:50.660 Yeah, I would assume it probably would be.

01:57:51.700 You know, it's none of this funny business that goes on these days or days.

01:57:57.760 Anyway.

01:57:58.620 Now, I don't remember The Midnight Sky.

01:58:00.720 Do you remember The Midnight Sky?

01:58:02.420 Okay.

01:58:02.700 That was 2020.

01:58:04.380 Okay.

01:58:04.620 Then, then there was nothing in 2019 other than, you know, TV stuff.

01:58:09.400 Mm-hmm.

01:58:10.260 Uh, do you remember Money Monster from 2016?

01:58:14.140 Do not remember Money Monster.

01:58:16.500 I do not either.

01:58:17.200 Doesn't sound good.

01:58:18.640 No.

01:58:19.020 Do you remember Hail Caesar from 2016?

01:58:21.600 Ooh.

01:58:22.420 I do not.

01:58:23.100 Ow. 0.99

01:58:23.640 I saw that one because somebody wrote it or it, it had.

01:58:31.140 Somebody did write it.

01:58:32.360 Yeah, I know.

01:58:32.860 I'm trying to remember there was some reason we went and it wasn't for George Clooney and

01:58:36.120 it was bad.

01:58:38.060 So you might remember, I could see you remembering Tomorrowland from 2015.

01:58:43.720 But again, we're back in 2015 here and I still haven't gotten to one I'm sure you'd actually

01:58:48.280 seen or anyone in the audience knew it exists.

01:58:50.280 Tomorrowland, wasn't Tomorrowland that awful, awful movie that I thought looked really cool?

01:58:56.200 No, that was Sky Captain of Tomorrow or something like that.

01:59:00.080 Yes, that was long before that.

01:59:01.500 No, I didn't see Tomorrowland.

01:59:02.460 And then I'll get to one that I do know that you were, that you would appreciate, which

01:59:06.480 was The Monuments Men.

01:59:07.720 Yeah, I love that.

01:59:08.020 That's 2014.

01:59:09.540 Wow.

01:59:09.800 That's really the last George Clooney movie I would say he was like a star and was, and

01:59:14.320 it wasn't a big hit, but it was like critically acclaimed and I liked it and, you know, okay.

01:59:19.480 He was looking a little like he was wearing a toupee.

01:59:22.480 I don't think he was, but he was looking a little like he was wearing a toupee.

01:59:26.120 What does that mean?

01:59:27.240 He wasn't wearing a toupee, but he looked like he was wearing a toupee.

01:59:30.420 His hair was just not, you know, it made me feel better as a man, you know, you can go

01:59:37.060 to this George Clooney movie.

01:59:38.580 It's not like every Tom Cruise movie that just pisses you off.

01:59:42.980 This one is like, okay, all right.

01:59:45.780 He's looking pretty, he's looking pretty rough.

01:59:48.800 And then you find out he's 70 and you're like, okay, I no longer feel good about myself.

01:59:54.160 All right, back in just a minute, let me tell you about American financing.

02:00:00.240 Navigating your financing is tricky, tricky work, especially the more assets you have.

02:00:04.980 If you have a home, for example, knowing whether or not to refinance the mortgage and when

02:00:09.040 is the kind of thing that seems complicated.

02:00:11.840 You might avoid dealing with it altogether.

02:00:15.240 What?

02:00:15.740 Me avoid problems?

02:00:17.340 Never.

02:00:18.240 Now's not the time for hesitation.

02:01:13.720 Stand up!

02:01:15.060 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

02:01:17.320 We're just talking about these big movie stars.

02:01:35.000 George Clooney hadn't done anything for a long time.

02:01:38.800 You go back to Leonardo DiCaprio and you're what, back to 2014?

02:01:42.000 I mean, you have Once Upon a Time in Hollywood with DiCaprio and Pitt, which was a big, you

02:01:47.240 know, big thing.

02:01:48.460 But before that, you're going back to 2015, 2013.

02:01:52.260 I mean, The Revenant for Leonardo DiCaprio and Wolf of Wall Street.

02:01:56.820 It was 2013.

02:01:58.540 It was almost a decade ago.

02:01:59.520 Now, he's got a couple of things that look really good in the pipeline, including a Jim

02:02:03.220 Jones movie about the Jonestown situation.

02:02:06.100 Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.

02:02:06.980 I got to see that.

02:02:08.040 I love those crazy stories.

02:02:09.640 If Leonardo DiCaprio is in it, then it will not be the truth.

02:02:14.000 Because Jim Jones was a progressive Marxist.

02:02:17.620 Yes.

02:02:18.160 He was not a religious nut.

02:02:19.920 Well, he may have been that too, but he wasn't a religion of anyone's note.

02:02:24.640 No, it is a, he was a Marxist.

02:02:27.640 He was a Marxist.

02:02:28.880 You think Leonardo DiCaprio is going to tell that story?

02:02:31.600 No.

02:02:31.980 That's a good point.

02:02:32.620 But, you know, I, I, maybe it's a situation like Clooney, it's not like he can't get gigs,

02:02:37.440 right?

02:02:37.640 He could go work if he wanted to, but, you know, he's busy selling multi-billion dollar

02:02:41.460 tequila companies and just like, eh, why am I bothering?

02:02:43.660 Why am I showing up?

02:02:44.820 You know, have you, have you seen all the people that make these tequila companies?

02:02:48.860 And it's like, we're going to sell it for a billion dollars.

02:02:51.420 George Clooney did.

02:02:52.260 And I'm like, yeah, you're not George Clooney.

02:02:55.160 Yeah.

02:02:55.480 I mean, I don't know if you know that.

02:02:56.880 Yeah, it seems like the Clooney magic with that was not only is he George Clooney, but

02:03:00.900 he also like got the best people to make the best tequila.

02:03:05.020 And then, you know, really everyone tries to do this though.

02:03:07.700 I mean, who, but it seems like this generation where you think of those people as the big

02:03:11.900 movie stars, DiCaprio, Pid, Clooney, it's kind of gone, right?

02:03:15.940 I mean, like they, they'll still make movies, but like, are there, is there anybody stepping

02:03:20.040 into that, into that world?

02:03:22.440 Like, who would you put in that category of like a big time movie star right now?

02:03:26.920 Cause most of them wind up just doing TV and Chris Pratchett did a TV show for Amazon

02:03:31.120 prime, right?

02:03:31.820 Like, I mean, uh, Brian Reynolds.

02:03:34.500 I mean, he's got like, he's got like a Hulu series.

02:03:37.920 He's great though.

02:03:38.900 He is great.

02:03:39.640 He is great.

02:03:40.160 He is very good, but it's like, it's, it's a weird time for that.

02:03:42.880 And of course he's also, he's doing mint mobile commercials every 10 seconds.

02:03:46.500 I know.

02:03:47.160 He's just buying companies and just doing the commercials.

02:03:49.680 That's how they save.

02:03:50.440 That's how they save money is they just get Ryan Reynolds to do all their commercials.

02:03:53.140 They don't have to, you know, they don't have to pay him any extra.

02:03:55.520 I guess they get a discounted rate.

02:03:56.820 Maybe these guys make me sick, right?

02:04:00.320 They're too smart.

02:04:00.920 We barely have to work.

02:04:02.260 Yeah.

02:04:02.820 These guys come on.

02:04:04.600 Yeah.

02:04:05.780 They slap their name on a bottle of, of, of alcohol.

02:04:09.740 I want the best people that can make some tequila for me. 0.93

02:04:13.680 Right.

02:04:13.920 I really like tequila.

02:04:15.200 Go hire someone who knows how to make it and put my name on it, please.
